She Whispers


She whispers her apologies as I let her cry
her tears cutting my soul in two
all the regrets, all our fears, 
in the darkness between us
She stares at me, will I be the one to break
my silence, can our love survive such
infidelity?
She whispers to me, I hold her hands in mine
forgiving all and nothing, forgetting every
line save that I can still feel every lie as it 
carves out a hollow in my chest, I would shut
her out but I cannot force myself to regret
that I have loved her always even now as she
tears my life apart, this is the pain of sharing
lives, rooms in the caverns of the heart.

She whispers the final refrain.
