(2014)
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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
