It'd be great
To not feel stupid for caring.
It'd be great
Not to be put on top of the world
And then left there
On
A
Very
Thin
Tightrope...
It would be amazing
To have something more
C o n s i s t e n t
Than water
And more solid
Than anything known to man.
It'd be breathtaking to have my breath taken
And returned
Rather than left gasping
For an air that
Only
Ever
Felt
Okay to breathe
With you.
But it would be tragic for me
To write these words with an unbridled hope for
Those great things
And those amazing things
And those wonderful things
And those breathtaking
Things.
All because its a comedy
To think you care.

I couldn't explain the title if I tried it just feels fitting for my experience with the subject if this poem. It's been a while since I've written anything so please tell me how I did.
