In other universes perhaps we end up together And we end up weathering storms in tandem
For now I'm tasked with the duty of being your friend As you turn yourself into a means to an end
And sometimes you get there because of me And this is an expression of things unseen Things too terrible to be seen Things I'd hold tightly, and closely Because I can't hold you closely
You are a dream that floats out just in front of the horizon but which falls off the edge of the world if I draw too near
You are the heartbeat skipping in a parked car, and the wings clipping of best friendships formed here
Though you are closer to me than any others You are the most distant of all my lovers
Though you are the nearest in knowing my soul, You are the furthest possibility as a whole
When I drop you off so you can cut yourself in half and be used, Don't fall into the trap that states I don't care about you
I am a slave to my desire to help you be who you want to be Even if that means destruction especially to you and at times me
Don't fall victim to the hoax of victimizing yourself Recognize your worth by choosing the contrary, your health
Don't think for a second that I don't love you Because of all the truths spoken in this poem This is the truest: that I adore you That you know me and don't judge me And I crown you for the way you treat me
Because you, like no other, know me You, unlike my other lovers, know me But you, unlike all the others, can't be A part of me while you're not apart from me
Don't believe in the lie that all you're good for Is these few moments of euphoria
You're more than an object Yet you're still the object of my desire
