I want my love
to grow into my hands,
blooming like flowers,
reaching like vines
until it reaches you,
however far away.

I want it to hold you
in a way that I can't
and I want it to be
your closest friend
when your ghosts
stick closer than skin,
telling you that
you have to be alone.

Instead, my love
grows like crystals
in my chest and
leaves my breath
whistling a song.
and what if my love is crystal? would it be of any comfort to you then?

this is a poem of love never having long enough arms to touch those you think it should.

and at the end of the day, you just want them to feel loved and realize that they are absolutely wonderful people.

THIS-THIS-THIS. You said it perfectly. And those ghosts--those oh-so familiar ghosts...
"when your ghosts
stick closer than skin,
telling you that
you have to be alone."


And I do want you to know... even when you feel like you can't reach... I have felt a little of your love. And it is spectacular.
