#Love #Secrets
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
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
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
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
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
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
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
