Across The Static
How is it that I fell for you
through a screen, 800 miles away?
I trusted your voice with my heart
before I ever even knew your hands.
How is it that I fell for you
in such a short amount of time?
Between all, hours long, and
texts sent quick but full of thought
each word pulling me closer to you.
How is it that I fell for you
when I said I wouldn't love again?
Yet here I am, words lurching out,
uninvited, spilling onto paper,
forming poems you'll never read.

Urgent questioning, breathless pacing, emotional intensity; restrained but visceral.
34 lines; falls in 31-60 range, approaching longer meditative piece.
Personification (words pulling, lurching); sensory imagery; modest but effective ornamentation.
Pure lyric; introspective first-person voice examining internal emotional state.
