there was a time when i could wrap my arms
around your neck
and put all of my weight on you
i think to myself
as i hold you
and make sure you don’t fall
did i feel as light as you do now?

never once have i paid attention
to the way your eyelashes,
long and dainty,
brush your skin.
never once have i thought of how
that scar is oh so visible on your lip.
never once have i considered
the way your eyes pierce mine.
yet if i have not though of these,
how can i picture you so clearly?

how is it that you stand there
speaking and smiling?
every word is a dagger
in my heart.
you rip and tear the walls.
my heart constricts and i am not safe.
who are you to do this?
be silent;
though it pains me still.

you remind me of the leaves
and the way they crunch underfoot
and the way they smell
and the color.
the pure, bright color that overwhelms
everything around the source.
nothing can compare.

i wish to know
yet i cannot.
i wish to be,
yet i cannot.
such is my life,
my destiny.
i cannot be as close to you
as i wish.
there is a divide.
it will never be overcome.
i do not know if you care
but i do.
please help me.

i have never had to share
not a room
not a bathroom
not clothes
i have never had to share
and now i cannot share my heart

washing
over me.
I feel tears
building up.
I sit with you and laugh.
as I turn,
the feeling
grows
deeper.
my heart aches.

two brothers and a sister.
she is destined
never to know
them.
they are friends
(of course)
and close.
but he knows him
better than she
ever will.

who are you
who am i
what is this
where am i
my hand is no longer my own
my heart is too much my own
my forehead feels tight
the lights too bright
who am i
what is this
where am i
the movements i make seem odd
i am no longer in control
yet who is this typing
if not me
what is this
where am i
my jaw aches and my head throbs
i recognize myself yet i do not
i stare at a wall
it moves?
where am i
the back of my mind is my home
i feel trapped inside it
i strain against the bars
there is no one to hear me
