Description
Do you hear that?The rhythmic beat
Like a child's running feet
Running through the same old streets
Thump thump thump
Do you hear it?
Can you for once
Lend an ear in the opposite direction
Away from the babble
Your little brook tattles
And listen
THUMP thump thump
Can you hear it?
How do you continue
Your ranting your pester
When will it all end
Like a bird whose cage is darkened
Tricked,
Into a silent goodnight
The only difference
You'll never take flight
Perk up an ear, prove yourself right
THUMP THUMP thump
How can you not hear it?
Now paint your expressions
I've seen them before
You're not an artist
My heart's not a door
More like a window
I'm looking out
THUMP THUMP THUMP
Now can you hear it?
Another heart calls

It does NOT, by ANY means, suck. How could you think that!
However, I was slightly confused as to the message your trying to coney. The reason I'm confused may just be because I'm tired and kind of disconnected to my brain right now, but if your willing, would you explain the poem a bit more to me?
I really, really like the first stanza, by the way.
And just so you know, I could think for eons and not come up with a poem as good as this.

The first stanza is basically saying that they are going to move on. The beat of another person’s heart and affections are beginning to draw the speaker away from someone that they’ve been hung up on for awhile. It’s asking if they even notice that they are drifting apart and if they hear the beat of the other person’s heart. (That’s what the thump thump thump sound is)
The second stanza is asking the person to please pay them some attention because they are about to give up and to stop ignoring them (the first “thump” is capitalized because the speaker is closer to moving on)
The third stanza is asking why and how the person continues to just rant on about life and everyone else around them and, again, let’s them know the speaker feel ignored. The thing about the bird is referring to, when it’s over, they’re going to want the speaker back because they will feel like they were tricked and turn it all around in their minds and pretend they weren’t warned. But unlike the bird, they’ll never be free and fly/ change. But the speaker still asks the person to speak up as the other heart beating gets louder.
Forth stanza: Is about the person they are talking about is going to either act like they don’t care or act like they are sorry(“now paint your expression, I’ve seen them before”) but they won’t do a very good job at it because it can be easily seen through. “My heart not a door”, refers to the fact that the speaker isn’t just going to let people in anymore but rather, it’s a window that people can look in and they can look out of but no one can get through easily. The heart beat gets the loudest and the speaker asks, “now can you hear it?”
“Another heart calls” - they’ve finally moved on to someone who will treat them better/ the other heart (person) that they were slowly falling for.
Sorry that was so long winded, I got carried away. Haha. Poem in a nutshell: the speaker is waiting for the person they still love to stop them from moving on, or at least show some care about it.

Thank you for the amazing explaination! 
I love this poem about a billion times more now then I did before! *faves*
And don't worry about getting carried away, I'm pretty sure everyone does at some point.
