Eulogy for Daniel
Mitch Prax May 2024
Spiderman would have
been in awe of your wit,
Just as superman for
the way you never quit.
The hulk would have
been in awe of your might,
just as Thor for the
way you shone so bright.

Bloom
Mitch Prax Feb 2024
When you smile at me,
the sun inside me ignites

Say my Piece
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I wish I was
satisfied by silence
but I cannot bite my tongue
anymore.
I will not accept defeat
and I will not let you leave
until I say my piece.

In Ruins
Mitch Prax Sep 2024
I feel too much-
I know it all too well.
I hold on for too long despite
knowing when the flames have smothered.
My heart is in ruins and I am left
wandering through embers of
all those long lost memories.

I love you more

on a clear summer night.
For me the universe only

Your Light
Mitch Prax Jun 2021
I think that

Purgatory
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
Trapped
in between
this Heaven and Hell.
I'm in purgatory,
I fell and I fell-
so very far from glory.

The Girl With Blue Hair
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
Reflections under a pale moon
her hair shimmers like neptune.
We look up at the stars with awed eyes
and watch the cosmos as time flies.
Her blue hair as blue as her heart,
yet she is still my favorite work of art.
Yes, it's true, her heart is torn,
but like the stars above, we are reborn.
So let us look to the cosmos-
to the heavens we are so close.
Magnificent are the angels up there
as is the girl with blue hair.

Hugs
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
Sometimes we just need a hug
for no reason at all.
Sometimes its best to
bury yourself in someone
and in that space, find yourself.
Sometimes we just need the warmth
of skin against skin and
in that warmth, find joy.

Trenches
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
I live in an ocean
of your memories,
in shadows and the silence
at the bottom of your trenches.

From Within
Mitch Prax Mar 2024
If you know me by my writing,
be prepared to know me by my silence,
for the demons from within and beyond
have choked the voice out of me.
I don't want to speak anymore,
I only watch and
I write.

Red Skies
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
The skies burn red

A warm breeze, a warm memory,

Paradox
Mitch Prax Feb 8
It feels like an
eternity and a blink
since the last time
I saw you and I
have been prisoner
to this paradox
ever since.

In the End
Mitch Prax Mar 2022

Overflowing
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
You keep pouring sorrow
into my glass that is
already full.
You pour
and you pour,
until it overflows,
and then you pour
some more.

Solitude
Mitch Prax Feb 2024
The only one who
feels with me is me-
all the joy, the pain,
and everything in between.
Those tears and those smiles
only reach my face and
its my burden to carry.
This is my solitude and it is
all I have ever know.

Caspian
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
Whatever happened to
baby Cas or our dreams of
leaving this all behind?
I still think about him
from time to time
just as I think about us
from time to time.
Is he all grown up now?
Have you outgrown me?

Recharge
Mitch Prax Jul 2024
We all have different
ways of healing.
For me, I need solitude,
so much solitude and silence.
To just be with myself and
my thoughts is how I
recharge that battery that
never had much spark
to begin with.

Cycle
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
People leave

it's an endless cycle

You are the

Hollow
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Is 'hollow' an emotion?
It is thought of as feeling nothing,
but isn't that enough to warrant an emotion?
Maybe we need a better word for
what this feeling of hollowness really is-
is it not something we can feel
deep within our gut?
Is there such thing as an
emotionless state of being or
is the only way to achieve that
in death?

Hole in the Heart
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
It's not that
I'm not loved,
it's that I am loved
but it doesn't seem
to fill the hole
you left
long
ago.

Your Twilight
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
Some nights are
more unforgiving than others.
It is the thought of you that eases me
on those cold and lonely nights.
I take shelter in your twilight
until daylight returns
and do it all again
the next night.

These Walls
Mitch Prax May 2022
Another room,
another company,
they all feel the same after a while.
I prefer solitude,
to keep to myself and
listen to these people
rather than speak.
But in truth, I feel even more alone
when I am with them rather
than my solitude.
These walls were built to
shield me from these people
and I intend to keep
the door closed.

Sing Away
Mitch Prax Oct 2024
Sometimes,
between this distance,
darkness and silence,
your voice will break through
and sing away the sorrows and shadows-
a reminder that we are never
truly alone.

Ripple
Mitch Prax Aug 2024
None of us are
as big as the ocean,
but each one of us are drops
capable of causing a ripple.

In the End
Mitch Prax May 2022
In the end,
you either leave
because you are not loved

Distant Dream
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
We are not the same person
as we were yesterday.
Today we believe in this,
and tomorrow we believe in that.
Yesterday is a distant dream and
today I'm only waking up.

I Love You
Mitch Prax Jun 2024
I love you during rain or shine,
and everything in between.
I love you in my solitude
no matter how distant I seem.
I love you in my absence
even across the land and sea.
I love you when I'm anxious
even when it's taken my autonomy.
I love you in every country
from Vietnam to Turkey.
I love you now and forever
and for all of eternity.

Wicks
Mitch Prax Sep 2023
We are all just wicks

Diary Excerpts #21

my soul aches from

This Photograph
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
This photograph,
this knowledge of you,
will stay with me forever.
A snapshot in time
of who you once were
and who I once loved
forever cherished in this heart.
And though you may change,
sometimes into someone
I no longer recognize,
this memory will remain
as you were when I loved you
in this photograph.

Heart of Stone
Mitch Prax Aug 2024
Now that you have seen
how I need my solitude
to escape bustle and burden
of everyday life and
how I need my silence
to escape these deafening crowds,
how I take refuge behind this
impenetrable heart of stone,
am I still easy to love?
