(2013)
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
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
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
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
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
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
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
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
