you can love me but only as a friend
you can kiss me but only to pretend
when not feeling something
in your bones
not spreading your wings
not thinking
of me
as anything
more than a coward
you can show me only if you disappear
you can push me but only if the way is clear
you can listen to me but only as an ear
you can hear me if you disregard by fears
of wanting to be with you
knowing that i cannot
missing you when knowing i’m not
who you want me to be
you can hold me but just for tonight
you can choke me but leave me some life
you can fool me but only if its wise
you can dream of me but only tonight
