No Heartbeat

Disappointment takes my breath away
When it comes to you
I saw so much more, and yet
There is so little there.
How can I have been so wrong?
Like a wave that loses its momentum
and whimpers back into the ocean
Taking nothing with it, not even
The sand it should have.
Not even the sand that was waiting for it.
Not even the sand that was ready to return.
So is our friendship, with no echo
No resounding, longing pulse
No wave of anything close to regret.
Our friendship had no heartbeat.
And so there is no funeral,
No bleeding, no singing
No sound.
Disappointment takes my breath away
But nothing else.
Nothing else at all.
