(2014)
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
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
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
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
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
