#Life #Meaning #Nothing
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
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
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
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’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
