The Space Between - Slash Fiction

Let me get a word in edgeways

Slide between the thin space

Wedge open the gap

And let through something new

So turn the lights down low, babe

Let’s pretend that this body

(my body)

Is my body

Let’s pretend just once

That these hands

Could be the hands of the man of your dreams

Press myself into a better shape

Like handprints in cement

Sign my name so I remembr

Who i’ve left behind

So covr your ears, babe

Let’s pretend that this voice

(my voice)

Is my voice

Let’s pretend just once

That these sounds

Could call you by name, back to our home

Let me slide between the meanings

Live inside the bridged gaps

A foot on both sides of state lines

I’m everywhere at once

So please remember, babe

I am not a blank slate

I feel it all, from here to here

Again and again and again

So will you take my hand, babe

Let’s prove to the world

(this world)

Our world

Let’s prove to everybody

That we are more than our bodies

Worth more than our bodies
