Smile For Each Heartbeat
Location
Laying on your chest, I hear your heart race.
Like a secret locked inside you, and I barely get a taste.
You conceal your emotions well, but your body betrays you.
Trying to be calm, though I can see through.
But I lay within your arms and don’t bother to hide
all the emotions i’m feeling inside.
My smile is wide, all my teeth show
as i stare at you and I feel my cheeks glow.
They say music speaks what words cannot
and
Your heart beats make music with
my heart beats make music with
our heart beats make music that create a lullabye
and as i fall asleep
I smile
for each heart beat
speaks the words I dont need to hear aloud
I feel them in my heart.

This poem was lovely and I am so glad to have read it. It really does make m think of laying on a loved one's chest and being able to fall asleep there. It was a beautiful memory to be able to turn into a poem. Thank you so much for sharing. I actually did enjoy very much the way you structured the poem because i gave away the way you wanted it to be read byt the reader, almost giving away the entire melody it would have had you read it yourself.
