Beats
My heart has started a traitorous beat.
My brain has joined the rhythm.
You are broken.
You are whole.
You are desperate.
You've been healed.
Lay down and die.
Stand up and live.
Liar. Loyal.
Sleep. Don't dream.
Inhale. Exhale.
Breathe, sweetheart.
My child, die.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
