#Life #LossLove
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
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
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
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
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
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 get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
