would you have recognized my heart
disappearing into myself
hiding from you
trying to change this landscape
exhausting explaining why
wishing today never happened
testing this fragile hold on my normality
dismantling these memories
battling internal and external forces
crashing into your combustible headspace
fighting the tomorrows not yet past would I have loved you then

23

it’s all for you

it’s all because of you

it’s all from you

it’s all filled with you

it’s all thanks to you

it’s all i know

it’s all yours

it always will be you

22

falling for you breathless with anticipation
awakened by these wavering thoughts
just see me underestimating
the swiftness of these emotions

falling into you selfish with passion
hoping for these careless words just be mine unconditionally the stillness of these moments

falling with you resolved with affirmation elevated by these possibilities
just linger here 
unchanging 
the happiness of these memories

21

Lights are shining

Snow is falling

They’re all smiling

But Time is calling

And you’re not here

And I miss you

I miss you, mistletoe

20

my least favorite occupation

is chasing clouds held in my mind

keeping hopelessness from swallowing

this endless love

this selfish madness

that infects my silent night

will the stars argue

will the moonlight answer

please come wake me up

19

morning stillness has evaded me once again

piecing fragments of this lucid nightmare

with conversations from my captured soul

calming this chaotic neutral

constructing strength to stand

to move forward without you

to know what I have to do

and endure these moments beyond

18

I wish you could

I wish you would

Hold me one more time

Breathe me one more time

Kiss me one more time

Wanting one more first time

Needing one more last time

17

what to do with this endless heart

how you went away

in madness and magic

permanently tragic

I’m here lonely alone

silently screaming at concrete angels

waiting impatiently for our lost somedays

16

what to do with these endless nights

while stars share their dying light

I’m here talking with your stone

heartbroken over our stolen moments

afraid of love left behind

impatiently waiting for our next lifetime

15

oblivious to your souls nakedness

wounded by your yesterdays

unaware of the shadows they cast

echoing to be free
