Subtitles Aren'T Always Necessary

this morning, as i lay in bed my eyes shut. listening to my own heartbeat, playing with the rhythm that is my very lifeline. It was only a couple seconds, but with all the sincerity i could conjure up i thought that my heart had stopped. i could not hear it nor could I feel it beating in my chest. and as if i had been writing my will or on my deathbed, having already accepted my fate, it was the most peaceful couple of seconds i’ve felt in a while. what grim commentary from a 20-year-old. ~ r.a
