Murmurs
Moonlight shines through her windows
Somewhere in the night
He's there
Waiting
Slinking into the shadows
Dancing in the darkness
That becomes him
Clocks turn
Time stops
When he sees her
She's his only
She's forbidden
The apple
That could
Destroy their Eden
Whispers fly
Murmurs caress
Her sleeping ears
She dreams he's there
Kneeling at her side
Gazing at her face
Reaching out to touch her
But he stops
And turns away
Knowing the risk
The pain he could cause her
The damage he could do
Once it would be done
It could not be undone
He can't do that to
Cause her that much pain
Take her life away
She's only sixteen
So for now
He kneels by her bed
Each night
Longing for her
Murmuring his love
To her sleeping
And unhearing ears
And wishing for the day
When they can be together
Without penalty
Without worries
Without the world interfering
The shadows embrace him again
And he is gone
