Sweet nothings

Dearest love of mine

Might you fulfill the want in my heart

And lend me your ear

To hear my plea

And answer my query

Has my tone truly always sounded so

Aggressive and harsh,

So abrasive?

I promise you

I can be a sweet and caring lover

Softening my voice

Whispering sweet nothings in your ear,

As you drift to peaceful slumber

I beg of you to trust me when I say

I can be tender and gentle

I plead for your understanding

That I do not always speak with such violence

I yearn to soften my voice for you

I wish to have showed you my gentle side

Before we parted ways
