sky's grow dark,
and inside my mind
i see you,
standing alone beside a light switch
that could brighten my whole interior.
except
you don't touch it,
in fact
you ignore it.
you dance circles around candles you don't have matches for,
and lightbulbs that are already lit,
expecting me to get up,
walk over to you,
and guide your fingers to my 'on' switch.
but i can't,
i am physically unable.
every time you touch me
its electric,
whenever i feel you,
its like you tease a small star inside me
by dangling fire in front of it,
promising to make it the brightest it's ever been,
but you say you're lonely
and never follow through.
