Not Even for You
Knowing I won't send them today
Anymore than I would when I wrote them first.
I think of you.
I write about you.
I write letters to you.
I commit you to memory,
paper,
notecard,
computer screen,
the ether,
My soul.
Knowing with each breath
These are unworthless words
Unable to reach you
As I am unable to extend
To send.
My fingers,
My heart,
My soul
Hold too tightly
To unwrap me from them.
To unentangle is an activity
I consider everyday
Yet cannot manage.
The words I recreate everyday,
Rewrite everyday,
Relive everyday,
Are all I truly have left.
To give them to you
Leaves me with nothing.
I cannot be nothing.
Not even for you.
