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
for everyone.
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.

3:33 AM
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
The clock strikes
Three Thirty-Three
and I am alone with these thoughts,
once again.
This could go
either way.

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
is a field of sunflowers-
she leaves no petal
unpollinated.

Sunset
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Like the sunset,
you slip away,
oh so beautiful,
but dark is this world
once you are gone.

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.

Let It Be
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I am not

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?

Diary Excerpts #41
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.

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

Tornado
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Your touch

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.

You are
someone's cup of tea.
Don't stop looking for

I'm one call away
from leaving it all behind
just to be with
you
Mar 2021 · 121
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.

A Hundred Reasons
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I have
a hundred things
I wish to say to you

a hundred reasons
why I should not
say them.

Dear diary;

my memories

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
and I find myself
wishing for her.
It's not the first time,
nor will it be
the last.

Lonely

You're lonely,

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...
Feb 2021 · 148
Pieces
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
I left a piece of me
with you.
Can you still feel me

you?

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
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
People are like candy-
consumed and
discarded
like an empty wrapper.

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.
Feb 2021 · 140
Searching
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
It's 2 am
and I'm searching
every corner,
every street,
and every inch-
but even in darkness,
I cannot find light.
Feb 2021 · 179
Ego
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Ego
All we have to do
is admit when we are wrong.
It's as simple
and difficult
as that.

That 1%
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
She was
ninety-nine percent angel,
but oh,
that other one percent
****** me

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.

The love we share could

Baby
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
We are born
naked and alone-
the centre of someone's universe.
And yet,
we remember
none of it.
