#Love #PoetryWaiting
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
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
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
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
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
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 would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
