I haven’t written about you in a long time

You wrapped your arms around me and exhaled

and i felt that you had been holding your breath your entire life

you wanted to hold me

but why do you choose increments

over permanence

everything is temporary

but our love was created beyond the fence

far from ordinary

why do you choose to hold me in increments

when you can hold me forever

you torture us both with what could’ve been

what should be

and what I fear I’ll want forever

I have wings without you

I fly high above you and your lies

but you add to my feathers

and within you I lie
