Sun Kiss
Mitch Prax Sep 2022
After so much pain
under the chill of the winter moon,
a kiss from the sun herself
is enough to get me
through one more
year.

The Way It Was
Mitch Prax Feb 2023
Why is it so hard
to let go of those who
hurt us the most?
Is it because they were once
the source of happiness
and everything nice?
Are we still clinging onto the hopes
that it will go back to
the way it was?

I cannot speak.
Caged

A Miracle
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
You are a miracle!
Do you know how wonderful you are?
I celebrate it every day.
So always be yourself-
the miracle that you are.
Bless every second,
every heart, every day
with the miracle
that is you!

Papercuts
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
Ah, I don't care anymore
if you still see me pouring my heart

What more can you take from me?
I keep on writing your name
knowing that each letter
is a papercut unto this soul.

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.

One smile from you is enough

At Night
Mitch Prax Jul 2023
The sun goes down
and I take comfort in the night.
I wait for the moon to return,
and with him, the shadows,
silence and solitude.
It is at night where
I can forget about reality and
the bustle of everyday life.
It is at night where I can breathe,
to take inspiration from the darkness
and let the mind run free.

Shooting Star
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
There are still stars

Sometimes I am lucky to witness

Smokin Thighs
Mitch Prax Sep 2021

You came back for breakfast

one last goodbye.

Two Islands
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
What was once a mighty continent.
Like the land we shared,
this heart was torn in half.
Now we are but two islands
drifting further away
upon the solitary sea.

The Actress
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
You may not be here anymore,
but were you ever really here?
You did a great job acting
that I truly believed you cared,
at least for a while, and worse,
that you actually loved me.

I wonder

Valentine for Joy
Mitch Prax Feb 3
When I think about the adventures,
the laughs, the meals, the memories,
the highs and even the lows,
I am always left with a smile
and heart full of JOY.
No matter the season,
no matter the country,
I will be your friend,
partner and lover in every
adventure, hardship and celebration
we shall face together.
Your life and your soul
is a spark of inspiration and
your smile sets my heart ablaze.
If you continue to warm me,
I will continue by your side
whether it be at home or
a land so far away-
I will continue to support you
and spoil you in every
way that I can.

Metropolis

This city never sleeps,

An Open Letter to S

Dear S,
I thought I
could keep this up.
Maybe I could for a while,
but not anymore-
it hurts too much.
I didn't know it would
be so difficult and I didn't
know you would turn away.
You were supposed to be here.
You were family.
I'm lost.

Dream Lover
Mitch Prax Jun 2022
It was nice
To have the idea
that I had met the living embodiment
of all my dreams and fantasies.
It was doomed from the start
because that's what it was, a fantasy.
Still, I do not regret dreaming-
giving in to what was probably a
delusion more than a dream
because to this day,
you are still the closest thing
to what I could dream of.

Letting Go
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
It has taken me too long
to realize that you aren't coming back.
At first I thought you would eventually
miss me like I miss you-
that you would constantly check your phone
as I check mine,
but it was never you.
I spent all this time waiting for you,
trying to remember the memories,
the way you made me feel,
while you spent all this time
falling in love with
someone else.
It pained me see the two of you,
perhaps it always will,
but at least I know now that
you are not coming back.
Indeed, you had not thought about me
that way I still thought about you
but rather, it was as you never loved me at all,
as if I had never existed.
It's time to begin the process
of letting go.
