fools gold

By Crush Room

if you saw me,
i know you would say
'you look beautiful'
and i know you
would mean it.

if we could talk,
i know the .hours.
would cease to exist
and it wouldn't matter.

if i could lie with you,
i know that the softness
of your breath,
would still me.

if i asked you to
write for me, i know
that your words
would take me
to the liminal.

the only thing
you can't do,
is tell me

that
i'm just not
rich
enough
for someone
like
you.
