Her Heart Beats

On By Robin DaltonIn Poetry

 

Her heart beats
a tattoo
in her aching
chest
a cruel hammer
relentlessly
pounding
against her door
wooden splinters
lie in a pile
at her feet

The sun is high
and bright
today

Yet, still
she wonders

does she hope
he notices her

or does she pray
he won’t?
