(2014)
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
