(2014)
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
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
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
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
