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

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.

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

We all
get a little lonely sometimes,

Barely

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 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.

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

Love is a fickle

Beware its highs and lows
for the side effects
far outweigh

Pillow Talk
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
If your pillow had a voice,
what stories could it tell?
Would it tell the tale

of laughter and lust,
of heartbreak and happiness,

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.
