(2014)
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
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like

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
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
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
