IT BEGAN WITH A WHISPER

It began with a whisper
And ended with a prayer
How could I possibly forgive
Such a toll on my heart
That kept me speechless for days
In silent screaming tears

No lover could aim a spear so sharp
Or throw a stone so large
Delivering a loyal trust so broken
No lover could have risen
A surprise so crazed
As the one you, my friend, gave

It left me so pressed and deeply shattered
There was no room to feel
There was no will to explain nor speak
Finally, in my heart I heard the mention
Of your name to my innermost thoughts
It began with a whisper
That ended with
A prayer for you out loud
