(2014)
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
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
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’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
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
