steady beat of a dead heart

the first note
of the old memories
triggers a long time crack
in the dam of tears
to open and fall free
the blue abyss of walls
and the song of a saddened child
are the only thing
keeping this steady beat
of a long time dead heart
losing all senses
and full mode of anger
and feelings undescribable
hanging on a thread
that won't snap
between child and elder
and life and death.
