i wanted

i wanted to write you a beautiful poem
i thought it might lift you
but i havent found words
good enough to hold you
it must be inspiring
if it is to float you
above this lonely place
i wanted to use me
my singleness & my pain
to pull you

but that seems
wrong

so i wanted to write you a beautiful poem
that might lift you
give you the silver
to light this cloud
to open your ears
to open your eyes
to open your mouth
but i cant seem to open mine

but i wanted to write you a beautiful poem
so you would know
that you are loved
and cherished
and adored.
so stop waiting.

i wanted to write a beautiful poem
for you
but this is all i have.
