(2014)
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
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 don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
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
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
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
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
