two

you make me wish 

i weren't this sad, 

this empty. 

you make me feel 

like i could have loved, 

i could have laughed, 

i could have smiled 

like you in the sunshine.

you make me wish 

i weren't made 

of pastel browns 

and muted blues. 

so i could 

fit into your 

technicolor life 

with you. 

you make me believe 

i can step into your world 

when you take my hand. 

you make me 

forget my chains. 

but i'm tied up anyway.
