Whispers

Whispers softly heard - two voices, or three?
A secret shared is scant secret at all - three it is, or more.
Who knew? I did, not you?
Oh, tell someone I must, lest my heart burst in twain.
You knew, did you not?
No, but tell me more!
I musn't, oh, I must! Come close and hear.
Who told you? I must know, it was a secret, not to share.
Tell a soul, I have not. Don't you trust me at all?
Well, only you, and two more, yet two too many.
My lips are sealed, but, I thought she knew!
She did not, before.
Are you sure?
Who knew, but you, and you, and you?
He knew, and perhaps her too.
Oh dear, I am doomed! What news from she?
Did you not hear?
No, I fear I have not.
She nears, you see, over there.
Where?
Here, anxious one, right here.
Oh dear.
I did hear. Why fear sir?
It was hidden.
Perhaps meant so.
It was not?
Oh, no. Not so.
And now?
Whisper not.
No need to.
Instead shout.
I intend to.
