The Whispers of My Mind

you know all the whispers

of my quiet mind

my mangled thoughts

broken

shattered on the floor of

an overburdened heart

i’ve been naked

all my thoughts of you

exposed

placed in the light

with deliberate intention

when you read those thoughts

and digest my words

some of my words have wounded you

and some of my words have set

that little boy that lives inside of you

free

i was never trying to hurt you

i was only trying to let you

get to know me

that is all

i think by now

you have a good grasp of who i am

i still think of you

even to this day

and if my words

are the only thing

i have to give you

may you receive them

with an open heart

always
