maelstrom.

and i'm sucked back in.

the slow embraces and mouthless kisses;

my heart is void of something, anything.

we're trying to force this

because logic deems it rational.

i wish i could love you; i really do.

how unfortunate that our complexities

leaves us even- with nothing to offer the other.

but this is fine.

this is apathy at it's finest.

i just struggle with the fear that 

this 

is the fullest another person can fill me.

distance, distant.

which do you really have a problem with?

this is not an opportunity for you to rattle off what you know;

anyone can do that.

make us think.

keep this for those cloudy blankets

keep this for those times when your thoughts become too deep to climb out of.

the free scoop of ice cream

the late night chat

the offer to buy gum

the movie watched to keep company

the elevator music.

it shows how many little things

create one warm wave of belonging.
