The Last Heartbeat

Lisa Stanley

Once before I died alone

The last heartbeat was painfully slow

And now in darkness I've died again

No one to claim as a friend

Don't know where I'm going or where I've been

The love of once and long ago diminishes the fires glow

Living thrice, I thrice, I try once more

But nothing is like it was before

In darkness, I hide all the pain

The blood washes away with the rain

And the beating heart beats no more

The last heartbeat changes to four
