Listen softly
Hear it strum
Thudding slowly
With the beat of a drum.

One, two
Quicken the pace.
Three, four
I see your face.

The moon fades
All is silent.
The night brings pain
A night so violent.

Five, six
Faster and faster.
Seven, eight
He cant get anything past her.

So fast
Breathless now.
Her adrenaline kicks in
He lets her drown.

Nine, ten
Ready to explode.
Eleven, twelve
The same old road.

She rests her head
Upon is chest.
The secret she keeps locked
Deep within her breast.
He feels her touch
Her simple grace.
He feels comfort
For time, he cannot erase.
