(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 say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
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
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
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 poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
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
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
