#Love #PoetryWaiting
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
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
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
