I can see the thoughts sparking around in your head.

For you, I’m within reach.

For me, you are too close.

I can’t breathe with your thoughts in front of me.

Your desires are too close.

But you will forever deny them for the sake of safety.

And I cannot stand it.

I cannot stand you.

The big pile of want and never will be is between us.

Like being near a live wire, it is dangerous and alluring. 

We can’t touch each other but are still too close.

Close enough to catch fire and be burned.
