(2014)
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
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
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 wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
