if you could do anything,
if you could have your questions answered,
if you could,
make him or her love you,
why would you do it?

the feeling of your finger tips on me, it is
it is other worldly.

if you could, for a moment,
open your eyes and see what they see.
how they see you

then maybe you would know why i depend on you.

if you could tear between the lining of the water and the air
to set yourself free of the burdens you already have

if you could claw your way out from 6 feet under to breathe peacefully for once in your life,

would you?

to see everything around,
the air
the streets
the signs
all of it.
