Lover's Whisper

From the silence of my breaking heart,

From pieces torn and scattered far,

I try to find some sense, some beauty

Inside, I wonder where You are.

If You were here, I’d not be broken

If You were here, I’d not be pained

If I could hear the words You’ve spoken,

Perhaps my heart would not be maimed.

And then, I feel Your arms around me

Before Your lips kiss my tear-stained cheek

“Your beauty comes from being broken,”

Are the strange words I hear You speak.

“Had you been whole, and not so shattered,

Had you been strong, and not like this,

Had you been steady, not so scattered,

You would not know my deepest kiss.”
