there but for the,

I run to you, and you escape me

i cry, i cry, i fill the well deep -your loss

full with pain and

it brings me closer to you

excited, i grasp, tighter and

you slip between my fingers like thin air

finally,

in my empty fist, i felt your presence

I ran away from you

you fill my mouth

i bite into a lemon, and,

but for the bitterness

my mouth recalled,

you were so sweet,

so, i'll never taste you, so

I'll scurry away and,

don't you want me? i'll say,

to someone else and,

like a lover you'll be there,

in the space between
