Foreign Hearts
Mitch Prax May 2021
Her heart is a country
foreign to me.
I am just a traveler
admiring its beauty
in all its culture and
history.

Haiku
Mitch Prax May 2021
My heart ran away
with all the love I could give-
it's out there, somewhere

Dear diary;
I am constantly

Demons
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
There are demons
in all of us.
The sooner you can admit that,
the sooner you can get on with your life.

Tornado
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
She swallowed my
heart and my soul
like a tornado
swallows all the
life it touches.

The Torture Doctor
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
The torture doctor
put me under
with her smile
and charm.
She cut my heart
until the love poured out
and just like that,
she had concluded
her operation.

Strangers
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
And just like that,
we were
strangers again.

Walls
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
How do I
reach you when
all I see are the walls
you built around
yourself?

Diary Excerpts #44
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Dear diary;
I still catch myself
from time to time
staring up at the moon and wishing
we could still admire its
beauty and splendor
together.

Cancer of Me
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
There is a
cancer of myself
that is waiting to be cut,
bled and beaten out of me
so that a healthier,
stronger me will
heal in its place.

Memory
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
This will be
a memory that
one day I will try

Cut
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Cut
Realizing that you are
not as special to someone
as you thought you were
just cuts that much deeper.

Love/Fuck You
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
There are those in life
who make you want to say
'I love you'
and there are those
who make you want to say
'*******'.
I want to be the one
who makes you want to say
both.

Scar Tissue
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
For muscles to grow,
they must bruise and tear
and it is the pain we must endure.
Surely, it must be true
of the heart?
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Her heart was
where I found my home.
Her thoughts and words
open up doors I could never find
and her eyes painted the walls
in beauty only rivaled by her own.
This is the house I wish
to spend my days.

Sunflower Dreaming
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
If just one
sunflower bloomed
for every time I dreamt of you,
there wouldn't be room
for the thorns
and thistles.

Favorite Wish
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
It's like
a genie took my
favorite wish and
and laid it right beside me.

Cycle
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
People leave
and I detach-
it's an endless cycle
I can't seem
to break.

Delete
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Wouldn't it be nice
if life had a delete button?
Imagine the memories,
the people, the feelings
you could erase with the
push of a button.
That would be nice,
wouldn't it?

Drowning
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
I am drowning
in this ocean we call life.
It's a bottomless abyss of
weight and worry.
I can't resurface,
it never ends and
I suffocate.

Cycle
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
I hate the way I woke up,
hungover,
and all alone, again.
I hate the loneliness and
I understand why I am
every time I see my
reflection in the toilet water
throwing up last night's bottle of gin.
I hate the way I waste the day
and do it all over again that night.
I hate this cycle that I
cannot break.

Alone

I like
being alone

feeling alone-
is there a word for that?

I am the God
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I am the god, I am the sea
protector of humanity
atom bombs and all the kaiju
they’re no match, you know that it’s true

I am the king, I am the beast
rage and wrath have now been unleashed  
I am the wonder of this world
there’s not a thing I couldn’t hurl

Diary Excerpts #43
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Dear diary;
there were no heroes to be found
in this story I call my life-
maybe I was the villain all along.
Will a hero give this plot a meaning?
Will a hero redeem this sinful soul?
Vain and vile,
I am the villain.
Pride and pain,
I am the villain.

Diary Excerpts #42
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Dear diary;
Lately,
I've found myself slipping
into that same old mindset
of loneliness and despair.
I keep reminding myself that
I'm still young,
and that most of my life still lies ahead.
Perhaps my better days
and better lovers
are yet to come.

Little Lonely World
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
We all
get a little lonely sometimes,
that's okay,
because that's what it means
to be lonely in this
little lonely world.

Barely
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I'm barely

Hell,
I'm barely
for myself.

Too Far
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Our worlds
have split in two
and you’ve gone too far
to come back.
We both can’t go back
to that world
We can’t ever call it
home again.

The Luckiest Guy in Tbilisi
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I get to see the world
and all of its beauty
like the shiniest pearl
in the deep blue sea.
I may live in Sydney
and all its works of art,
but he's the luckiest guy in Tbilisi
'cause he unlocked your heart
with a charm like a key.

The clock strikes
Three Thirty-Three

This could go

The Poet's Affliction
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Is it a blessing
or a curse
to find poetry in
anything and everything?
To seek out its beauty,
its faults,
and everything in between?
One might call it a gift,
but me,
I'm not so sure.

Pollination
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
My heart

she leaves no petal

Pieces
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Your heart
has been shattered,
but fear not,
let time run its course
and before you know it,
you will find the strength
to pick up the pieces
and find that they reflect
more light than they used to.

Love is a Drug from Hell
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Love is a fickle
yet transcendent drug.
Beware its highs and lows
for the side effects
far outweigh
the addiction.

Cruel
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
You would think
that we would be caring
for one another by now.
In a world so cruel,
why would we
go at it
alone?

Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Dear diary;
perhaps it was hope,
one ****** up illusion,
that convinced me
that maybe,
just maybe,
I ever had a chance
with you.
