Speak Now

Speak now
or forever hold
my heart 
in your hands
Still beating?
Barely
Still pumping blood
but much slower with time
Torn out
with force unknown
with a vengence
still unspoken of
Were you aware?
Of the power you contained?
To tear and to shatter
So speak now
Because your silence is deafining
My heart, now out of rythem
needs to be put back in.
