they love you
when you are
as tall as
the wall of their
expectations or
when you are
as solid as
the mirror of
their reflections
while
-------------you
----------------------- love
------------------------------------to be
------------------------------------------------as thin as
------------------------------------------------------------------the air
so that
---------------they
----------------------------can
-----------------------------------------see
-------------------------------------------------------through
--------------------------------------------------------------------------you
