(2014)
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
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
