#Death #Life #Poetry #Writing
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
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
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
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
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
