Emergence from wing to fingertip

in a forgotten room,
the tenth day of August
your voice as crystalline shadows
with words from your mouth
i never thought i'd hear again
"you know i care
never tell me i don't"
drained and lifeless
without you
if somehow i could push my way inside of you
and make it known what you are for me
ideal mirror and only brother
yet you never let me in
forever outside i'm watching you
with more depth to this than i have for myself
and when you say,
"i know i'll never..."
know that i'll always,
and never forget.
