I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
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
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
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
