(2013)
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
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
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
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
