so a girl and i met, based on our love for poetry, hung out, had feelings but she chose to be with someone else, bc she knows him better and i am moving 8 hours away. we agreed to be friends but then she told me something really scary that is happening to her, (her mom's missing) so i was worried and did two things: sent her the following poem and found her on campus just to hug her. to me, those things were done as a friend but the line is so blurry i messed up.
how can you offer home
to a stranger unknown
with no map to find
the peaks of the mind
and valleys of the heart
where do you start
to glow and ascend
will purity transcend
when the concrete invades
and an abstraction fades
depression was a season
before she gave me reason
to keep connection
in this human collection
Now, I intellectualize
feelings that have no eyes
can a gift stay alive
can kindness still thrive
on the end of this vine
nothing to be mine
but only for once see
filtered eyes set free
