I love you in the morning,
I love you through the night,
I love you when I fight,
I love you when I tried and failed,
I love you in the light,
I love you in the dark,
I love you through the moon and back,
I love you through hard times,
I love you even if we break apart,
I love you when you’re here,
I love you when you’re there,
I love you even when you’re gone,
I love you everywhere.
I love you every moment--

I love you…

I rewind
and play that
sentence
repeatedly
in my mind,
like a cassette tape—
And every
word of it
hurts.

Most times,
I feel it’s a
dramatic act.
I don’t know
what’s real
or what’s not,
there’s a knot
in my stomach.
Tapes distorted,
voices corrupted
them—

“We care about you—”
wHeRE aRe YoU—
“Where have you been—”
wE MisS yOu—
“Please come back—”
“We WaNt you BaCk—*

We all want you back…

As a poet,
I have some
sort of “sickness”.
A “disease” that
makes me cough
cold, raw, inky words.
It forms sentences
you never heard
out of me before.

On endless hours
of sitting in a
room alone,
my throat
hurts so badly.
Someone sliced it
open with a knife—
I lost my broken voice
in the process—
But not my soul

These feelings,
there here to stay
Forever and always
Because of you
The hurt that you
put there
will never go away
Instead it gets
harder and harder
to ignore
Forever and ever
on my mind
but I'm never
on yours
And all the times
you said you
changed
it was all a
lie
Your no different
And now its time
to say goodbye.

You said you
were gonna
change
I was gonna
be with you
But here I am
and your over there
Two worlds a part
Behind a metal wall
There's so much between us
I just want to see you
I miss you
I need you
But you lied
I wont be with you
Not now
not ever
But its all
I want
I want my mom.

Hope is fragile
It is like the air
The air you breath
You reach out
To grab it
It slips through
Through your
Fingers
When you
Need it
You can't
Find it
And then you see
A flower
A flower in the distance
In the distance
Where
Hope will
Always be
Waiting.

Your on my mind
No matter what
I find
All the time
Like a
Dime
Wishing I was saying Hi
As I say bye
Staring at the air
Wishing you were
here.
