(2014)
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 get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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 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
