(2014)
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
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
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
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 would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
