looking
past these bars
so thin; almost invisible
with large spaces in between
like air all around
so thick i can't see the outside
the air is my own
i've breathed it out slowly
for one solid month
and now i'm suffocating
from the fumes of my longing
but don't want to stop
the inevitable loss
of you by my side
the crossing of two paths
in the crosshairs of fate
about to be blown
to shards of yesterday
when you touch my skin
your sunshine makes me tingle
i know you're the one
