The Perfect Storm
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
We were two
frozen raindrops
in a greying cloud of love.
Our collision sparked
the perfect storm.

Pillow Talk
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
If your pillow had a voice,
what stories could it tell?
Would it tell the tale
of love and loneliness,
of laughter and lust,
of heartbreak and happiness,
or sadness and solitude?

Only in Poetry
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Only in poetry
do we still exist.
Only within each verse
can I still adore you and
only within each word
can I still find bliss.

Starry Night
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Maybe we
should look at the moon
together
the next time
we miss each other.
Knowing we share the same
starry night
will just have to do
for now.

Dear diary;

sit beneath the stars
basking in the twilight

Diary Excerpts #39
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Dear diary;
Sometimes,
I let myself give in to the
hope of holding
you again one day.
False hope, maybe,
but it's the only thing that
gets me through
nights like these.

Dear diary;
The clock has just struck 11:11

It's not the first time,
nor will it be
the last.

Diary Excerpts #37
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Dear diary;
I caught myself
thinking about you again.
I know,
it's nothing new-
I thought about you yesterday
and the day before that.
I need to work
on that...

Pieces

Diary Excerpts #36
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Dear diary;
I suppose I do consider myself
to be that of a
hopeless romantic.
But I wonder...
why are they considered hopeless and
can you be one without
the other?

Candy

People are like candy-

Pieces
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
They say time heals all,
but I don't think that's true.
Broken hearts never completely mend,
they just learn to adapt
once the pieces
get lost
forever.
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Take care of yourself-
no matter how little my words
mean to you now or
how second of a thought
I am to you now,
if a thought at all.
I meant every word
that I said.

Searching
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
It's 2 am

but even in darkness,
I cannot find light.

Ego
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Ego
All we have to do

It's as simple

Diary Excerpts #35
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Dear Diary;
why do I keep doing this
to myself?
The way I still check up on them
when I am nothing but
a second thought,
if a thought at all.
It’s no wonder I am
still a mess.
Why can’t I just
let it go?
Why can’t I just
be gone?

The Insomniacs
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
If you find yourself
awake at 1AM,
you just might
be in love.
If you find yourself
awake at 3AM,
don't do anything stupid,
you are loved.
If you find yourself
awake at 5AM,
you should go
to sleep.

Lost Heart
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
It's still in here,
somewhere,
I'm sure of it.
The heart I want to give you
is somewhere at the
bottom of the ocean,
or perhaps the
edge of the galaxy.
I know that I can find it,
again,
I just need time.

Stone Heart
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
I used to think
that I was invincible-
a stone heart impenetrable
to the holiest
of goddesses.
And then I met you-
just one glance and this heart
began to thaw.

I wonder

feel this way too.
