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
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
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
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
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 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
