(2014)
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
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
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
