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.

Baby

We are born

the centre of someone's universe.
And yet,
we remember
none of it.

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.

Diary Excerpts #34
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
Dear Diary;
I feel tired-
sleep just ain't
cutting it anymore.
I've felt this way for
the last ten years-
at least.
I wonder
if anyone else
feel this way too.

Diary Excerpts #33
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
Dear Diary;
to be honest,
I don't mind being a little broken.
If it means that
these pieces of me
can make you whole then
that's alright with me.
I'm used to it
anyway.

Daughter of the Sun
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
We are all
children of the sun,

Daughter of the sun,
shower us with warmth-
this place is cold without you.

Inevitable
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
I wanted you
to be right for me
more than anything
else I could want.
We could have forced it,
maybe,
but it wasn't right.
To this day,
I still think about
what could have been but
I always remind myself that
we would have only
been delaying the
inevitable.
