A pillow won't suffice
To close the space between my arms,
The void in my chest.
The length of my outstretched arms
Won't span the gap between you and I.
Won't reach the distance.
Fill the space.
The distance, so far from you and I
At any moment, any given moment.
When I am holding pillows and not hearts.
My arms can't reach the distance,
Pillows can't fill the void in my chest,
Warm the winter's frost,
But you do.
Always you, you in my heart,
In my eyes and in my veins.
My arms can't span the gap
But, I've never felt so close.
So near to touch, to be. So far.
My arms can't reach through the space
But to be in yours, to be in mine.
To be with me, around you. For us.
