On a lonely night, a girl's mind pondered
On the boy who claimed he
Loved her.

She ran to his heart to feel the warmth but only found
Pain and no beat.

Tired and weary she fell asleep
In his arms.
She woke the next morning to
Find that he was still there.

His chin rested on her head
And she could feel his steady
Heartbeat underneath his shirt.
She smiled.
