Heaviness (with audio collab)

Heaviness sits in my hands and heart
weighing me down
from all the things we could be
and all the things we’re not

I long for more of you 
for more of us 
Oh, I want to touch you 
in ways I never have before

I tell my hands to move
Move, god damn it, move
but they rebel 
sitting still in my lap

Oh, how I want to touch you!
You’re so close 
a breath of air away 
but a breath of air is insurmountable 
when fear is weighing you down

A massive thank you to Benjamin Grossman for lending his voice to this poem. I wanted a male vocal for this piece and wow… just wow. He took the protagonist’s words and elevated them beyond simple lines on a page. It’s not easy recording for someone else, so thank you, Ben.
