(2012)
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
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
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
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
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 see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
