I want to whisper words
so sweet
so softly in your ear
I'll want to stand so close
so only you can hear

I'd tell you of a love
that I'm holding
just for you
I'm whispering because
these words
they will be few

The time it will be quick
but the words
whispered quite slow
I want to stay with you
longer
but I know I have to go

Soon I will return
to again whisper
words so pure
you will feel
my whisper again
of that
you can be sure
Say I burned and spurned and left you on your own
but in this moment, just before you cast your stone
remember, it was you who said "I want to be alone."
So, darling, play the victim as you please.
You said you wanted a reprieve...
all I did was provide you with the means.
Happy Easter, HP!!

There's a small army
Of clapping people
In my stomach
I would
Bet my life
*******
Has nothing
On You
