(2014)
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
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
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
