Poetry Drafts / 11 August 2020

from a distance

I come with no strings attached
I come with no expectations
I cross my heart
Crossing your dream from the list of
Buckets that makes the you
Different from the list of me

Empty

Silent

My dreams no longer describable
Though as likely as a common folk
Unbecoming the pauper
I will love you from afar
From a safe distance
I will admire you

Unknowingly
