(2014)
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
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
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
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
