#HeartacheLife #Love
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
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
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 see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
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 have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
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
