It’s not enough
Your tender kisses
Your tight tight hugs
It’s not enough
As I only exist
When I’m right in front of you
Your pleasantness imbues only the time presently shared
Yet the moment we are apart
No longer do i matter
No longer am i wanted
We don’t need each other
That we both know
But maybe it’s not enough
Or maybe I realize… I want so much more….
and so i know now
but before
i could only accumulate
reasons that were true before
and though they were not given by you
they spoke for you in your absence
until your words came to my heed
until your voice came like a soothing balm
of what you thought was true
of what you hoped i knew
but what i dared not believe
until it came from you
If friendships can be taut
how can pairing be elastic?
Is there only so much you take
of one another?
How is it possible to continue
until ends are met?
The littlings nettle…
The perfunctorily unsettles…
How to sustain
a resistive armour?
a resilient mettle?
One that will not harden
but softens with grace
each time a Bright
moment persists…
in shining through?
