Heavenly Birthday (for Avery Corinne, 10/29/2006 - 10/29/2006)
He asked if I ever thought he'd inspire a poem. I replied, there are only two ways: break my heart or put it back together again.

A Question
Here’s what I know of love: It's all kinds of beautiful, With a touch of insanity.

Love
I’d choose you all over again Step back in time   To when we were younger,   To when you wanted me more—   But not nearly as much.   I need you now. I'd make the same mistakes   If I knew we'd be back there,   Back then,   To when you courted me with frozen yogurt,   Though you were the sweetest of sweet things,   And I bet you still are. I'd gladly go back   To when I gave up a dream of L.A. and ovations   For the chance to stand with you   Before God and loved ones. I'd stay right back there   To hear you call me silly nicknames,   To Friday night fights over nothing—   Just to make up. I'm not sure of the exact moment   We lost everything   That made others call us special,   Or when the stress of the years   Separated us from what's important. I just know that I'd still pick you.

I’d Choose You All Over Again
It’s not the ghost of you, dear; It’s the reality of all you left behind That haunts me.

Reminder
I’ve got plans to let you go, To burn every memory And scatter them beneath your window— One day, You’ll see what could’ve been.

I don’t have to change the names, hide beneath hyperbole and metaphor, or remove details to protect our guilt. Neither one of us is blameless; we both created a storm that left behind lifetimes of wreckage. And I dare not pretend this is in honor of the beauty we were in the beginning. No— this is an ode to a tragedy that will always be: the you and me that we became.
