Whisper

The moment the sea breaks
Ocean to wave to foam
Lying in darkness
Alone in body, in thought
Watching the fire spark
And die right down
Walls around me
Contained by secrets never seen
Beneath the stars
Honesty in costume
It’s the time I didn’t call
And what they never said
Breathing out, biding time
Running alone without name
It’s when the flame dies
When your name shifts to a whisper
And the smile it leaves behind
