"a girl can dream"
you said
it's obscene
how badly I yearn
for you to be
separate from a screen

you're miles away,
miles and miles,
but you keep me up at night

dearest, this is more of nightmare
than a dream, I apologize

I'm spewing drunken stupor

but God ******,
you're not any less prettier

& I don't wish any less
to collapse those miles
upon the embrace
of us two when allowed

unfortunately, though,
the distance remains constant

and that distance
is constantly reminding
how much happier I could be
if you were here next to me

who knows what I mean
who knows what's you feel
but I'm telling you now
this yearning is real

there will be a chill in the
morning when I wake

in honor of you,
out in your winter state

you are art at work
in a wild world

I wait and wait
to experience you for real
I wasn't kidding

you are the mountains
tall and breathtaking
with all your unreachable heights

you are the sea
causing me to be carried away

you are the sun
the brightest light ive ever seen

and what am i?

a single flower
awaiting your warmth, your rain, your shelter

your heart is an alaskan wilderness
and i never know what's hiding in the trees

i can only write when the devil of love fills me
i am otherwise blank and waiting
for its hot red touch
that burns and releases me back into myself
and suddenly i have so much to say.

you're just an idea
silly for me to ponder, really.
you're far away
and little old me is here.
you're exciting
and I am very simple.
but god, if you're just an idea
then I want to come up with you everyday.
I'm not sure why I even bother. Setting myself up for disappointment.
