The Beating of My Heart

There's just the beating of my heart
Now you have left me and we are apart

It stopped for a time when you spoke those words
Once I realised that it was parting I had heard

Alone now am I as in silence i watch the world go by
I can't hold back the tears and I breakdown and cry.

So sad and well expressed Paul. The reader can feel it.

Heidi That's what I wanted to convey. The pain of wanting someone who doesn't want you. Thankyou Paul
