(2014)
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
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 wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
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 see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
