#HeartLife #Love
You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
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
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
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
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
