Whispers
Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)
Whispers
He whispers in my ear
But I do not hear him
He looks me in the eyes
But I do not see him
He touches me
But I cannot feel him
He takes my hand
But there is no touch
He reaches for me
But I am not there
He calls for me
But I do not answer
He goes to touch my heart
But there is no beat
He breathes on my neck
But there is no breath
He whispers in my ear
But I cannot hear him
He looks me in the eyes
But I cannot see him
