(2014)
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
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
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
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
