Asleep

I awoke in the dark
next to you and
more alone than ever
I was amazed to hear
your heart beating from
so many miles away
For years I had hoped
that you might wake up
But you were always asleep
to me

(2014)

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

Autumn

Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
My Oxygen

Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
Passion

Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another

Healing

I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
 1
Empty

I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting

Rebirth

I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
