(2014)
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
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
