This is where your heartbeat lingers:
somewhere between hospital bed sheets
and the new-found aching in my chest.
The bed in which you slept
has been soiled by silent tears
and your nervous sweat.
You were always home to me,
but I was robbed by all your misery.
Replace your sorrows with an absence
of yourself, and I'll make my home
in your hospital bed sheets.
For some, this is a place of miracles.
For us, it's one of tragedy.
