In Loving Memory Rickie Lee Hawthorne
(2014)
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I know that you were there in my dreams and in my arms Every dream we
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
