Whispers

if i could whisper into you brain
tales of the places i go
while you lay sleeping
and i watch you for any hope of an old dream
if i could whisper into your brain
tales of the monsters i've battled
while you steal the blankets
and i am left cold by your indifference
if i could whisper into your brain
tales of the expanses i traveled
while you were busy closing your eyes to me
and i am left wishing you could see me in the distance
if i could whisper into your brain
tales of the seas i swam
while you railed at ghosts
and i am doomed to join them as i drown in your anger
if i could whisper into your brain
tales of the fey creature you are killing
while you talk of your agony
and i just wish you saw my wings before it was too damn late
