you heard me
say it
it rang loud
through the halls
of my house
you heard me
it was nothing
but a whisper
yet it sounded
like a
scream
you heard me
it pierced through
your silence
breaking the
stillness in our
quiet room
you heard me
in the dark
blackness of night
that filled
the air with
a fog
you heard me
and we knew
the thick air
held my words
and they
remained
you heard me
and you knew
it was how I felt
we stayed there
and slept.
