Pitter Patter

I sit alone
In the dark
The only illumination
This screen gives

I hear pitter patter
Again
Of my heart?
Of the rain outside?

I don't know

It is cold
Everything is cold
To the touch
My heart is cold?

I don't know

There is a hum
A subtle one
From my heart?
Or the comp processor?

I don't know

Blank is the soul
Weak is the flesh
Tired is the mind
Disoriented is everything

Pitter patter

Love
Affection
Trust
Faith

Pitter patter

Of years past
Of years to come
Of hopes dashed
Of wishes unfulfilled

Pitter patter

Steps taken
Steps to be taken
I cannot
Go alone

Need
Affirmation
Touch
Emotion

I cannot
Go alone

I don't know

Pitter patter
