I hate that what you do to me
is a burden to you
But not saying it
Doesn’t make me feel
any less
Even if it allows you to—
to what? Pretend I don’t?
Pretend I haven’t cried
at the thought of touching your hair?
The thought, how pathetic
holding your hand
or burying my head against your shoulder
because you are real
Yes I feel that.
Yes I really could
stare at you for hours
beacause I would be looking at you
I know that makes no sense to you
But it is you or blankness.
