Whispered Shouts

I sit here as I watch you sleep,

Whisper in your ear

That my heart is yours to keep.

It might seem selfish 

But I do it for my sake,

Telling you all the things

You wouldn’t believe awake.



I wish you could hear me.

Emotions off my chest 

Helps me think clearly.

Why do I lack the strength 

To say the things that matter,

Hiding behind your slumber

As my heart chatters?



Whispers originated from shouts,

Lack of strength in me 

Not to be confused with doubts.

There will come a day

Other than love you and miss you,

Where we are in front of the world

At the altar and I kiss you.
