Heart beat
Cynthia Alfliti - France
I could hear your heart beating
until it stopped at some moment.
I tried to hear it again,
but I could not.
Silence takes over the situation.
I could not see anything around me
only your heart,
which went out like a candle.
We could not escape this rocket.
We tried hard, though, babe.
You knew.
I knew that you knew,
since you hugged me the last time,
that it would be the last time.
But it was so fast,
faster than the rocket.
I am touching your heart,
trying again
trying to find a beat,
but I find only a piece of meat.
Forgive me.
I wish I could come with you,
but then who
who will continue building our beautiful city?
Hey you !
Don’t forget to come from time to time to say hello.
