Not within arms length
i'd sever the stars from the sky
and place them in your hands
if i thought another wish / they'd see the light of day
but you stand beyond the sun
beyond the reach of just a friend
maybe if i grew wings / maybe if you lost yours
these words would flow like water
if you'd let them scrape your heart
not with in arms length
embedded within my concise effort
a silent cry / i receive no comfort
and as i collapse we remain nothing more than friends
as i hold my breath / a throat full of cement
i'm disgusted by repetition i accept this curse
of friendship / your friend / friendship
