Not Within Arms Length

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
