Whisper

Whispers in the dark

A secret we both keep

We built a house of echoes

Where shadows learn to speak

Young hearts beating fast

But the rhythm feels unkind

We reached for the stars

But left the moon behind

We could’ve been so close

So close

So near

But silence screamed louder than the love we held dear

Like a storm with no thunder

A flame with no spark

We lost our way in whispers

Whispers in the dark

Trauma left its fingerprints

Etched into our skin

We danced around the edges

Afraid to let it in

Your eyes were a galaxy

I drowned in every star

But galaxies collapse when they stretch too far

And now the nights grow colder

And the words won’t flow

We planted seeds of love

But nothing seems to grow

We could’ve been so close

So close

So near

But silence screamed louder than the love we held dear

Like a storm with no thunder

A flame with no spark

We lost our way in whispers

Whispers in the dark

What if I had stayed

What if I had run

What if we had chased the dawn instead of the sun

A million questions linger

Haunting every part

But all I hear is whispers

Whispers in the dark
