Description
truly,there is no such thing as touching.
no such thing
as a sheet's cool sigh
or your heart beating
against my spine.
there is no desperation with which
i could press my hand into yours
and close the distance between
our electrons screaming against each other,
the distance between our eyes,
locked across a room,
the distance between our voices
carried on the crests of
radio waves.
there is no distance i could
carry myself as to be indifferent
to your gravitational field because
it is infinite, and my inertia, too great.

This is really good! One thing I'd change is the bit about eyes meeting across the room, it is cliche and doesn't add much to the piece - In fact, I'd argue that it actually weakens the piece by being too direct, thus shattering both the theme of physics/love and also the longing you are otherwise doing a great job of expressing. Another thing is the "a sheet's cool sigh" - it doesn't add much to the theme of love, even if it is a pretty good expression of the physics of it, and the next two lines far outshine it at any rate.

i see what you mean about the line with the eyes meeting; teenage angst just really likes to talk in cliches, haha (but WOW is that an intense moment, locking eyes with someone).
with "a sheet's cool sigh" i was trying to set up a scene with two people just chilling out in a bed, but i see how that didn't quite translate and so that line just sticks out.
thanks for stopping by!

Hi, Bonny, my name is Dani and I love you.
And I love your photography but I desperately want you to write more because the way you string words together is so inspiring.
This makes me want to smash my writer's block.
