#Hope #Life #Love
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
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
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
