Your Whispered Name
I've been whispering your name under my breath.
Sometimes it's the only word I'll speak all day
I sound out every letter and exhale,
as if it were my last
I'll feel the vowels kiss my lips
and wish it were your fingertips
Maybe, one of these days,
I'll say it for the last time
Until then,
I'll take comfort in your whispered name
