words for you

i want to write you

i want to paint your soul with my pen

to uncover it with startling clarity

but i know it will do you no justice

i've spent years learning to weave with words

unravel a feeling and lay the pieces on a page

and yet with fumbling fingers

i grasp at air 


sometimes the strings that make up our beings

run so close

i have already woven you into my core

stitched you into my life, my heart, my mind


it might tear me in two 

to wrench you out

and splash you

on a page
