(2014)
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 don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
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’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
