Between Us
Friendship stands between us
As you wrap your arms around me
Pressing our bodies together.
I contemplate pushing friendship aside
But I step back instead.
Six years ago we met for the first time
As you were moving in the room next to mine
Trying to be closer to your girlfriend.
She lasted five more months
While we have lasted ever since.
In my head it’s so easy to tell you how I feel
I can express myself a hundred different ways
And I can imagine you confessing to feeling the same
But I lack the courage to pursue my fantasies
Because I’d rather watch you be happy with someone else
Than risk you not speaking to me.
Friendship stands between us
Like an unobtrusive brick wall
Sometimes I climb and stand on top
But I never come down on your side
For fear of crashing to the ground.
There are times when I believe I can do it
Times when I convince myself I need to know
Then I look in your eyes
And suddenly I’m afraid of losing you
Because friendship stands between us.

Restriction
Written words stitched together to mend open wounds
Gaping holes haphazardly closed and seemingly forgotten
Losses that multiply and voluntarily compartmentalize
Lessons learned and passed along like unwanted presents
Paths intertwined and commingled to the point of being knotted
The ties that bound morphed in to the ties that strangled.

The Only Thing That’s Promised
Death,
Like a promise of something more
I don’t seek it, but it finds me
Catches me in dark corners and winks,
Runs when I reach for it.
Life,
Like an album I’ve heard before
With lyrics I know from a to z
No chasing involved,
I always have it in my hands.
