Ether

I write letters I won't send
And wish my words into the ether
Hoping that doing so means
My words will somehow reach her

I hope we meet in dreams
Since we don't speak on this plane
But I don't remember what's said
So it just isn't the same

It's like she's a citizen
Of my heart and my mind
She's doing her own thing,
But it's like she's with me all the time

Sometimes I want answers
To things I don't know
Yet I can't run away and can't run toward,
So where do I even go?

Am I missing some bits?
Should my jacket be strait?
Flipping between the start and end of my wits
I'm finding that it's painful to wait

It's like I'm looking through a window
Or from a cage in a zoo
Like I can't get to where I want to go
To a place next to you

This is such a lyrical style poem.. Enjoyed the emotion carried through it..
If you have the time perhaps you might like to read my poem Miles Apart..

This has an excellent opening stanza as it draws the reader in and explains there are feelings about someone separated from the protagonist. You fill in with more stanzas about how this feels and end on a note that says clearly the subject feels stuck.

Thank you, means a lot!

I saw these lines as lyrics. You conveyed your emotions well.
