(2014)
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
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 wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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
