“ choice ”
you say
you've grown
when you simply stand
on your tippy toes
you say
you've changed
just because
a colored light is shined
but i can still see you
you're still standing
against the same blank white wall
even if you know
there's an open door behind you
you say you don't
you say you cant
and i hate it
even forever is impossible
and impossible is a challenge
but there are challenges
that you dont have to take
stay
just stay
go back to me
come home
the memory of your back
is achingly more vivid than your face
please i need you
but you took a step further
and embraced the fall
more warmly than in my arms
