(2013)
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
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
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
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
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
