If I could crawl
The thousands of miles
To be where your arms are
Tonight
Then I would make myself insect
Grow as many legs and wings as needed
Just to be able
To get to where you are
To be able to sleep soundly for once
I would do it all
Just for one night
Where I would no longer have to share a bed
With my demons
I'm almost certain
That you could scare them all away
And for one night
My fears would turn to comfort at your hands
I could close my eyes
Without seeing past
Instead see only future
I could roll over
And see mine right in front of me
If I could crawl
The millions of seconds
Turn time into distance
To be able to be by your side again
Then I would learn to pull myself by my hands
****** my knees
Just so that
I could be at your feet
I do not know my strength
Well enough to try
But patience is a virtue
And I will wait as long as I have to
I will wait
Until I finally
Have you.
