Radio

The radio is playing

Songs I haven't heard since I last heard your voice

Striking chords in me I didn't even know I had

Choking on tears

Heartbeat.

What is this sound

Heartbeat.

It muffles my thoughts

Heartbeat.

I feel more real than I have in ages

More susceptible to what I know is only human

Heartbeat.

Heartbeat.

Silence
