Elucidating Questions

It’s like the knife twisting in my chest, that we could be, but you won’t let me be me.

You could simply, break out of the box or, say it’s just me.

Say somehow I’m the exception to the rule, or that I’m fine as I am and you’ll love me even as I change,

But even as I stay the same.

I wish you’d turn around, I wish you’d make an exception.

I wish you’d hold my hand. I wish you’d sleep behind me, I wish you’d come over.

I wish you would give me a chance.

I wish it was that easy.

Just like it was easy. I wish I could help you heal, and touch your face, and pet your hair and touch you.

I wish I could touch you.

I wish you knew how much I want to touch you.
