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

Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another

I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
