(2014)
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
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
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 awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
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
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
