I sit here waiting
Counting the days
the days until my heart beats again
I know I have a heart
I feel it beat beneath my breast
the beat is weak though
I go thru the days
Go thru the motions
I feel as though I am a ghost of my former self
Where once brought joy
Now only brings pain
My heart no longer sings
So I wait patiently, as patiently as I can
To rid myself of my ghost
*to feel my heart beat strong again
