Silly Little Heartbeat Poem by Maya Hanson

seems like you could fix
my shaky handwriting
just by being able
to read me.

seems like you could make me
love the way
I can't tell stories.

seems like you could make me
love the way
I'm hopeless more often than not.

seems like
no one would disapprove.

seems like all the
rain's showered on you
but it's okay
because the stars can dry
faster than the drops fall.

seems like you could fix
my laugh so
it never falls from the shelf again.

seems like I could
pay for anything
with what you're worth.

seems like you could fix
my silly little heartbeat
the one that s-
s-
skips here
l-
like a
drum l-
line out of
rhythm.
