Only Whispers Can Tell

Only Whispers Can Tell

A Poem by Marilyn My Bitterness
"

The title came from the song "Brielle" by Sky Sailing. I don't own the song, please don't sue me. I have no money. Thanks.

"
I haven't traveled these roads since I saw you last
Each bend like a moment in our past
Each up and down
Each rise and fall
Each success
And each failure
Each grander than them all
I see the sign that points me to you
It's bold type face screaming for me to pass on through
But I drive by and ignore the sound
Even though it emanated through the car speakers and down
Through my bones and shook me to the core
And told me to turn this car and drive down to the shore
Where we promised we'd be today in each others arms
But instead I am here and you are so far gone
I wish I could be bitter
At least that's an emotion I can hold on to
But instead I am wistful
Barely making it through
I never got to tell you that "Brielle" came from a song
One that means so much more now that you're gone
So I'll drive on by the sign that points me to you
The warm night air caressing my face as I sing out
And maybe this song will float through the night to you
