One more

I fixate on the heartbeats; breaths swell like waves in caves. I time the rise and shy retreat to assure myself the ends will meet, cos sometimes it seems to take them too long; a moment stranded like forgotten songs left to wonder if one day they’ll ever complete, should the artist compose for my heart one more beat.
