Whisper
I whisper now
These words that should not be spoken at all
I whisper to you
So low, so quiet
As to keep their vibrations from disturbing the air
I do not wish to wake you
Must not
Though all I can think of is my breath on your neck
I pray for a wind
To take these words away
Dissolve them and all meaning into nothingness
As they belong
To write them down
Be it on stone or paper
Would condemn us both to misery
They would last too long, they would be found
They would burn through us both
A fire I can withstand on my own
But with you
I could not bare to cause your pain
I should leave
Retreat into shadows
Crawl back out the window
I cannot
I stand transfixed by you
You, one of so few that have seen me
And you have not run away yet
Only because you are the newest
I will hurt you
I know I will
It’s happened before
How could it not happen again
Please don’t let me love you
Don’t love me
I can’t be another scar
I need you
I whisper to you
Why can’t you hear me shouting
