Is a thought only your whisper

Dancing swiftly across my mind?

Can a whisper heal me?

Can love heal you?

I am broken

Never to be mended

But I can love you

Can you love me?

Can you hurt me?

My love for you

My passion for you

Strangles me in the night

I cannot hold you

I cannot call you my own

Do I even dare to wish I could?

My heart is swelling

And it will not ever stop

Can you relieve the pressure?

Do you want to?

Your tender eyes warm my heart

My body

My mind

My soul

I am yours

Will you be mine?

Can you be mine?

I do not know

And so I merely whisper:
