(2014)
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
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
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
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
