(2013)
In Loving Memory James F. Logue
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
I write sharp words with a sharper knife on page after page of what might as well be the skin of my back
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
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
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
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’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
