(2014)
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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 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 have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
