Your Song
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
I do not
want this silence
to be the death of us.
I want to find a way back
to your laughter and song.

Awoken
Mitch Prax Nov 2022
How I yearn for
your tender touch.
Your fingers are like the sun
the way they open up this body
like a sunflower awaking to sunlight.

The Sweetest Song
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
If our love
had a sound,
it would be the sweetest song.
Tell me you hear the music-
the beat of our hearts
and our harmonies
intertwined.

The Biggest Heart
Mitch Prax Jul 2023
For as long as I have known you,
I have wondered how such a tiny girl
can hold so much love.
Indeed, you may be small but
you have the biggest heart
I have ever seen.
How can so much love and beauty
fit inside the small being
that is you?

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.

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.

By You
Mitch Prax May 16
I saved our photographs
for days like this when the
nights are cold and solitary.
Hard to believe that I
was loved by some,
and above all,
by you.

Dawn Until Dusk
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
You planted sunflowers
in this heart and so gloriously they grew,
under the sun they glow,
singing your name from
dawn until dusk.

Lights Off
Mitch Prax May 2022
I don’t regret opening the door to you.
you entered this heart and
illuminated every corner.
You were the brightest thing
I have ever let in
even though you
turned off the light.

Diary Excerpts #52
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
Dear diary;
Sometimes,
my emotions don't
line up with my actions-
what's up
with that?
It makes me want to scream
into the void-
why am I like this?
Why am I so broken?

Daughter of the Sun
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
We are all
children of the sun,
but you outshine
all seven-billion
who walk this Earth.
Daughter of the sun,
share with us your light
and lead us out of darkness.
Daughter of the sun,
shower us with warmth-
this place is cold without you.

Through Storms
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
When someone
is going through a storm,
your presence alone can be as
powerful as a sail to
guide them home.

What if?
Mitch Prax Sep 2023
What if the flowers of spring won't blossom?
What if I never run through the fields again?
What if I can't make it through the winter?
What if I may never see you again?
What if you won't wait for me anymore?
What if we won't find a way?

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?

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.

Yearn

The skies ache for the sun,

The stars kiss their planets,
and I yearn for you.

Dear diary;
I am my one

Somehow,
I am content
and depressed
about it all
at once.

Memories
Mitch Prax Dec 2023
In this heart,
I keep the memories
we share so far and I
nurture them every single day.
I hope we can add more to this heart one day
but until then I am content knowing
that you are happy and loved
and making your own memories.
As for me, I can open this heart
and recall the way you smile.
Indeed, there is nothing more beautiful
than you and our memories will
stay in this heart forever until
the next one we create.

Hollow
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I feel nothing
for the greatest pleasures
and terrible tragedies-
this is how it has always been.
Call it a lack of emotion,
an emptiness, a hollowness-
I carry that around in my soul,
my blood and my bones.

Tornado

Your touch
is like tornado
sending my heart

We wish you the sweetest pollen

Hidden Treasure
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
There was a sunflower
that stood alone on a hill
in the darkest of days.
Still, it lit up the field
and inspired me to write these words.
How many days had it been there,
alone yet amazing?
So lucky I was to find this hidden treasure,
its seed now planted in this heart.

Nashville
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
Who knew this city of music
would change our lives forever?
Two strangers, one night,
two hearts, one bottle.
Whether it has left us better off-
well, I'm still trying to figure that out
and I'm sure you are too.

The Abyss
Mitch Prax Jul 2020
Do you find yourself
staring into the abyss when
there is no more light
left to be found?
We are only human-
were we ever meant to
know such dread?

Lose Myself
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
I want to lose myself-
not through drugs or fantasy
but through travelling the world.
I want to dive into cultures
and forget where I'm from.

Solitude
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
What I like most about solitude
is that no one wants to steal it away.
Society, on the other hand,
is in such abundance that
anyone and everyone
can't get enough.

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.

Red Skies

The skies burn red

Nightsong
Mitch Prax May 2022
All the heartbroken,
the lonely and the dreamers
all hear the same song in these
early hours of the morning.
We are solitary
yet the night sings us
to sleep or something
more sinister.

Burden
Mitch Prax Mar 2023
To stay like this,
forever far away, silent

is something I hope will
not burden me for the

In Darkness
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
I miss you.
I wait for your
sunflowers to bloom so that
I may feel your warmth once again.
Do not blossom away from me
ever again,
I have dwelled in this darkness
for far too long and
it is your light that I
held onto after all
this time.
