Whisper Your Name
Clutching tightly the air around me
I find I’m no longer able to stay grounded
Floating away, the nothingness surrounds me
Out of my lungs life is being pounded
Rolling back into the depths of my head
My vision reveals to me my inner feelings
They scare me as I lay cuddled up in my bed
Taking hold, I enjoy these half-hearted stealings
I whisper your name in an empty room
Distant noises follow me into there
The place of somehow lovely hollowness and gloom
Gorgeous things related with something simple and fair
There is also a delicacy to it all
A romantic melody in play
I can’t make out the words written on the wall
But nonetheless I can stare at them all day
I fill my heart with shamefulness at the way I am
Already overflowing with too many things
I set sail on a distant voyage – into the sea I slam
Somewhere far off from me I hear as his voice sings
Wave after wave after wave, I fall over
With the sea flowing as if set upon something nonexistent
I lay, shivering with the taste of a lover
The whispers of your name proceed and are persistent
All I want is to keep it like this
Strangely floating amongst the waves and melodies
Finally falling asleep I dream of that one special kiss
A silence ensues, with the waters now calm, and I drop to my knees.
I always knew how the ending would be
I hear as I whisper your name once again
This is how it feels for two people to be free
With three little words, two lives you can brighten.
