God Holds You Now
Fragile pulse, I love
everything you were and could have been;
every nearly-silent beat of a barely-there heart,
each inch would have been my new favorite.
Fragile pulse, you knew me well
as I rolled and soaked in ignorance.
Surely, if I had known, you
would have been my miracle,
my most prized posession.
Fragile pulse, forgive me;
the one whos arms in which
you now rest has.
You must have been
too beautiful for earth.
