Because You Are A Fire Alarm

Because You Are A Fire Alarm

when you make a sound, my pulse
races, taking the feet with it. 
Everything rushes to flush
my mind. I try to slow 
my lips, hoping you will
slow down too. But now
I know -  you only want
others' absence.
In life's monotone
you only tread softly
the line of caution.
