capacity

 that word has been bouncing around in my head 

since i told you to do the last thing i want you to do, disappear

what a joy it would be to have the space for your discomfort as well as mine 

instead my own makes me want to jump out of my skin 

and reach for the nearest reprieve

is there a world we share a glance 

and know we deserve another shot 

is there a world i come to peace

knowing what i deserve
