(2014)
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
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
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 see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
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
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
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 wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
