(2013)
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
