(2013)
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
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
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
