(2013)
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
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
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
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
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
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
