Whisper

I once prayed

To restore you
Put the light
Within you on
And your
Smile would
Be my reward
But I have had
To hold my screams
And let the nightmares
Control who gets hurt
I have had
To store my heart
As the light
Went out
In my own soul
Whisper
For the words you use
Hurt
So much
Take so much
Keep the hate low
And let your words
Fade out forever
