Whisper

I have to whisper to myself. So he won't hear me. I look everywhere before I speak. Only I can listen to myself talking. I speak with a low voice. I hope he can't hear me crying because my voice is screaming inside of me. When he looks at me, can he see the right through me? So, I closed my eyes and prayed. I closed my heart so he wouldn't see my feelings. But he looks at me like he knows what I think. Even when he is not around me, I can feel his presence. He stares at me. So, I hide behind the fear he causes me. It's like I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. It was like he took my voice. So now I whisper and hope someone hears me. Just look in my eyes, and you will listen to me because my eyes will always tell you how I feel inside. I won't speak the words. But I will express myself with emotions. To learn how to talk again.
