(2014)
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
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 brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
