Pinky

I know you hide from me

But sometimes I wish you stood next to me

Wrapped your arms around me

I want you near

We feel like one

I want to be two parts

Come together if necessary

You’re the color of bravery

I think I might love you

Sleep in you

I feel like a cloud next to you

But too light I can’t hold

In the distance I know it’s you

Closer I’m more aware

Of the power you hold

And how I wish it was me

Who created you.

My hands aren’t that steady.
