Elevator Dreams

I miss you

as soon as I step outside your door

Waiting for the elevator to open wide

is lonely...

only I am left

to hear the echo of my voice

lost inside the darkness

I never want to let go

but I do

trying to be the first to pull away

Quietly I apologize

for everything I am not

I am not

yours...

"I unhinge my wishes, stringing them back together with desperation and love and the thin barbed wire of longing until they take on the substance of poems."
