it is not a lie
I love you
far from you,
yet true
I don't long either
I just am
here
loving you
so totally
it is overwhelming
to want nothing from you
and just love you
you are caged in
by gut feelings
that have been long ignored
and yet to be released
floating around in your ribcage
but you are a butterfly
and you don't know yet
that you can flutter
out & about
through the bars
to the trees
