the saddest sound

a dreaded silence in the air

reverberating, booming

deafening my eardrums

my audible pulse, arrhythmic

resonating, palpitating

struggling to create a melody

it comes to a halt

a sudden bang!

terrorizing, traumatizing

tainting the walls with a crimson hue

the same pulse, slower

fading, decelerating

creating the saddest sound the walls will hear

the last heartbeat.
