(2013)
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
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
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
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
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
