It is a lie.
I can’t get into your skin
nor see the blight on your soul
nor know the wealth of your life
in the darkness and the light.

It seems to me – and I could be wrong –
these four words
discount the other’s experience
dismiss the depth of a friend’s feeling.

Can’t I come up with something more creative?
Ask a question to find out more?

Have NOT been there
like you have.

it wasn't until the sun rose
that I realized
just how much
I was in love with the moon

Beautiful,

Warm,
Or even the center of my universe.
I simply mean that
I cannot look at you
Without hurting
