Whispers

        This started out as a conversation poem. I don’t really enjoy writing dialog so I kept it nice and short. Towards the end of the poetry unit I found that I had two poems that were quite similar. I combined my favorite components of this poem and the other poem to create what I have below. I feel this is a very typical romantic teenage girl poem, but I have to admit I like it. What can I say, I'm a softy at heart.

Whispers

As they sat side by side

The setting suns colors danced across her face

She looked down at her hands

And whispered you are not one I can replace

 

Her whisper broke the silence

Which his mind had filled with thoughts

But her words could not break through

His heart with its knots

 

He snuck a peak at the girl

Who was sitting by his side

It was obvious she was at war with the tears

That always come with goodbye

 

With that his aching heart shattered

Into a million pieces of every shape

And soon he too whispered back

You I could not wish escape.
