I planted the seeds.
I watched them sprout and then grow.
I saw them eaten.

I'm sitting right near you,
So close, yet alone.
Your wooden eyes glance at me
Seeping sweet sap--
I take it all in.
Two magnets separated by a wall.
My body wants to leap inside yours.
It would like to pull into you,
Not stopping at touch alone,
Until rules of physics are broken
And our two jars become one bit pot,
Collecting the rain--
Sweet water & liquid life
Filling with future memories & shared secrets.
My sun.
My song,
That sings in my head every night I sleep.
My breath,
That comes coolly through the window on hot, ruminating nights.
My water,
That aides my thirst,
That twirls & dances,
Until it becomes blood passing through my veins & heart.

I'm trying so hard to know you
And not let you just disappear,
But all of the hurt and pain remain
Because the love is still there.
