I Still Whisper Poem by Cecil (cj) Krieger

There are signs
Which tell me that you’ve been here
Uncontrollable signs
Like my repeating your name out loud
Over and over
Or the carefully folded corner
Of a book that you left
Unfinished
Some of these I can remove
While others that remain
Like my heart
You have still taken far away
And though I have promised
To never speak your name again
Occasionally
When no one can hear
I still whisper
