This Poor Ol' Corpse's Heart

it misses the way we used to sit
and breathe together
inhaling and exhaling
a hundred thousand times a night
 
some nights
more
 
full of life
full of love
pumping blood and vodka into our tickled cheeks
filling each moment with laughter and music

we danced
we fucked
we played card games
we fucked again

i felt your pulse
and you
were
my pulse

there was
a feeling of peace inside my chest

it seemed like something in the world was
finally right

like you were the first good thing that ever happened to me

and
the last

now 
that was a long time ago

buried deep
and marked with a gravestone

but
this poor ol' corpse's heart
misses the way it
used to beat
