You cannot hold a whisper
So why does it linger in my mind?
I'd like to let go
But those words - will always find
Piercing ice into tender spots
Scars, like sand prints
Left only till high tide

You cannot hold a whisper
They slip through fingers like sand
Blow away to pile up on a sand dune
Fly back down to choke you
Blind you, as your eyes burn with sand

Because I'm no coward
I'll refuse to run and hide
This game played
Is so worthless
You cannot hold a whisper
So why ever did I try?
