What a grisly set of twins
Brother and sister
One could scarcely tell
Where one begins
At the others end
“I want it, I’ll take it”
Said he, beside she
Who proclaimed
“I want it, I hate
That they’ve got it“
Such a fine and shifting line
Between these

It’s always winter there
When I visit you in my mind
Snowing and icy and white
Cold enough to see the air
I always sit with you
And lay in the frozen grass
I rarely have something
Worthwhile to say
But I know that you’re
listening anyway

I just want to be lost
To float among the stars
To drift— weightless—
Free, to believe—
For once—
In something greater
Than me

Why must you all be the same
You think with your bodies first
And then with your head
I thought you needed a friend

I don’t know why I give kindness
To strangers so undeserving
I thought all you needed
Was a friend

There is something different
About the grief you feel
For what could have been
The first kiss that won’t be had
The tomorrow that won’t be lived
I never even touched you
But oh,
     The things
            that could
    have been

This side of my skin
Is for me
It’s for you
I don’t let just anyone see
It’s for your smile
And your blue eyes
And your sweet laugh
It’s for your gentle hands
For your tender touch,
This side of my skin

Someday
I’m sure
I’ll find someone
to give my love
But for now
I’ve got too much
of it and I don’t
know what to do
with it
