To Be But Not To Be

to be you pen;

to be held in the cradle of your

hands like a habit

to be your bed;

taking the weight of this world off

your body; holding you gently

to be your eyes;

seeing the world in a kaleidoscope

of depth and energy

to be you mind;

deep and busily pondering that

which normally goes unseen

to be your words;

dancing off the page and into a

heart that goes unheard

to be your soul;

old and navigating a world that

you don't feel you belong to

i could build a home

in the space between

my secret desire

to be your everything.
