the saddest sound
a dreaded silence in the air
reverberating, booming
deafening my eardrums
my audible pulse, arrhythmic
resonating, palpitating
struggling to create a melody
it comes to a halt
a sudden bang!
terrorizing, traumatizing
tainting the walls with a crimson hue
the same pulse, slower
fading, decelerating
creating the saddest sound the walls will hear
the last heartbeat.
