(2014)
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 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
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
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 know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
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 poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
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
