cracks in my closet

i sit hidden in the cramped space
peeking through the cracks and seeing others with freedom
the choice is mine to make when the sun of adulthood rises
but i look out the cracks and see
the fragile bridge that is our relationship
living in my closet it stretches from me to you
to come out and cross it would reduce the bridge to dust
as
i
fall
forever severed from you
