Whisper?
By Musik2MyEyes
I was sleeping...hiding...knowing when I awoke I would leave.
Finding
peace in sleep...in knowing I was strong enough to go.
Softly melting
in my courage.
I think I heard him whisper my name.
Did
he?
Did he attempt to bring me from this peaceful slumber with a whisper?
Did he quietly call my name out to me?
Did he await the opening
of my eyes?
My ears strain now...trying...to recall.
Frantically
searching neurons for a buried memory.
Seeking a moment
That
is reminiscent of a soft breeze.
A whisper
I thought I
heard.
Was it in my dreams?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Alas
All I really ever hear
Are the echos
Of my
own screams.

Beautiful with the imagery and the concept. The way this work is written is both settle and somewhat mysterious as to who you mean by 'he.' Wonderful poem.

"He" was my ex. This is written about the night I was attacked during my sleep. Hope that clears it up for you.

Wow, that is so good! The ending was a perfect compliment to one of the best pieces I've read. Thank-you.

Powerful conclusion... horrific. and I am completely entranced by your tragedy... it is going to consume my thoughts for many a moment... I keep getting pictures of Hannibal Lecter and Mason swinging and slicing himself apart.
