Whisper

Keep it low, your voice
For I'm overwhelmed with your words
Whirling in my ear for the very first time
Striping bare my defences, taking me apart
Keep it low, for the first time
Was always going to unravel me
Always going to make me weep

You've written your love for me
Across the stars
Taken me apart with promises of real time
But hearing your voice
On my skin,
Unravels my soul
Shivers my very being
So whisper my love
Speak in whispers

For I need to feel your voice
