CPR

And finally it's stopped -

The beat

The pulse

The hum

No matter how hard you bleed you know you will succumb

To the finality of death -

Of love

Of hope

Of dreams

You stitch it back together but all you get are empty seams

Even without the will -

You count

You breathe

You press

There's no DNR on file so they'll pump you nonetheless

Until regardless of feelings -

It stalls

It beeps

It starts

No matter how much damage there's no replacing broken hearts
