To Whisper is to Wither
The wind howling, eyes closed, hair flowing
Every fibre in my brain sensing your touch
With my hands free in the air, feeling all the clouds
I can discern the freedom you bring into my soul.
With my eyes closed, I finally see it all
No crowd, but one, pinkies intertwined
Falling onto the grass braver than any storm
All sorrow leaves my heart, flowing with the river.
I can still feel it through my bone; the hollow you left
All the silent noise, no melody but pictures
The sunlit smile, moonlit skin, shall I speak?
With a thud, the ground crumbles but no ears.
The love I hold with no track to record
With my stitched mouth, and folded eyes, hand reaching out
Only to prove you of my existence and how it’ll stay
My footprints marking my spot.
Everything sparks my brain now, the memories, the nostalgia
That I choose not to express, maybe it’s better this way
Mumbling, crumbling, and stumbling
No clatter, is it better to fly or to stay?
