she's lying there, broken & bleeding
and i dare not go to her
dare not make this real

it's her lying there & i should go to her
but i don't
i don't want to touch her
don't want to know

don't want to know that her strong & valiant heart 
no longer beats its mesmerizing rhythm
the kathump, kathump that sustained not only her

the rhythms of her have kept me sane

fragile & strong her heartbeat
beating for two

and i don't want to know this
am already empty in anticipation of 
a life ceased
her beautiful soul no longer here
for me to gaze upon 
and dream of endless possibilities
of goodness and mercy and all the colors of her

i don't want to do this
i don't want to touch her
don't want this to be the last i feel of her
fragile and strong is how she appeared to me
fragile is what remains
what she turned out to be

broken & bleeding & fragile

lying there
painting the floor in shades of crimson
and i don't want to go there and make this real

but i do, and it isn't
and my heart beats against hers as i gather her
fragile and strong
into my arms

my broken & bleeding heart already mending
& beating in time to the rhythm of hers
