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
