Where is the Line?
Where is the line
for when I can
or cannot
reach out?
Where is the line
between keeping you informed,
and burdening your time apart?
Is the line
a realization of what’s impacted who I am
and wanting to share with you?
Overwhelming feelings
of how badly I want to be with you
and the ends of the earth to which I’d go?
The diagnosis of cancer
in a family member
unsure of how to respond
due to the lack of clarity
and severity?
Or are none of these
within reason?
I guess if I am questioning
where these fall
in the line of communication
I must assume
to keep it silent.
