for you I have a love,
like water,
like elastic
in your name I stretch,
to encompass you
and all of your overflowing trauma,
to hold what you cannot,
even when it snaps and stings
I may be thin
but I am that circle unbroken,
if I do nothing else,
at my distance
I will witness your destruction
and hold that story
as a light to those who want to remain
nocturnal in the face of the fire of mental illness
zero percent contained
beyond the elasticity of love.

I am a writer with an extremely active imagination. I love learning answers to questions and what makes everything and everyone tick. I am a "Unique case, medically" if nothing else.

I like people whose default setting toward others is compassion, an open mind, and honesty
