The Stirring

I come home I am smiling 
Look do they see me ?
Do not say anything 
Knew I was gone? 
Something inside me
Dead for a long time 
I feel its heart beating
Beating along. 
What does it mean?
This stirring inside me 
Look through the tiny cracks 
Of my hearts home . 
Don't they know that  I'm dying ?
To be once a family 
They do not see me 
Always alone.
