#KnowingLife #Love
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
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
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
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
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
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
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
