#Hate #Love #Poetry
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
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
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
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 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
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
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
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
