(2014)
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
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
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
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 spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
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
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
