Without Me
Mitch Prax May 2021
We may not be in love
anymore,
but that doesn't mean I
don't want you to be happy
without me.

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?

Water
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
Like water,
love cycles through you and I,
and every corner of this world.
It's always flowing,
always adapting,
always transforming-
where would we be without it?

One Love
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
Fear not,
your soulmate
will make you fall in love
with yourself too.
They are you and
you are them.
Two souls,
one love.

What I See
Mitch Prax May 2022
It hurts me so much
to see what I see,
what hurts me more is
that no one else sees it.

How To Say I Love You
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
If you ask me how
I can say I love you,
I'll tell you you’re the breath
I need to say it
over and
over again.

Pretend
Mitch Prax May 2022
Have you come
to put me out of my misery
or are you going to keep pretending
to love me?

Tapestry
Mitch Prax Dec 2021
Our lives

Nostalgia

You know
you are okay
when you are no
longer fixated
on nostalgia

Goodnight
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
I wish I never
had to say goodbye
and I wish our goodnights
weren't stretched across the world.
I do not wish for many things
but I wish you to be the
first and last face I see
each and every day.

Monster
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
I know you pretend
that I am the monster so
that you feel less guilty
about how you
treat me.

why I should not
say them.

Summer Night
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Alone again on
this summer night.
No emotions this evening,
not even any thoughts or sensations.
The ambience consumes me
as I give into the abating ambience.
There will be no dreams tonight,
but also no fear.
115 · Jan 2024
Smile
Mitch Prax Jan 2024
Does your smile
bring you as much joy
as the thought of
yours brings me?
114 · May 2024
Wishful Thinking
Mitch Prax May 2024
Are you hoping they will
come back or say they miss you?
Are you hoping they will
wipe away all those tears and scars
they left upon you?
Are you sure you are not wishful thinking?
That they have not thought about you since
and have gone the farthest
they could from you?

In My Place
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
She knows how
to sit me down and
shut me up.
She puts me in my place
like no other can and
I adore it.

Perfection
Mitch Prax Jun 2024
There is no such thing
as a perfect person-
only those with less
flaws than others.

Candy
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
People are like candy-
consumed and
discarded
like an empty wrapper.

Haiku

Is being alone
what scares me or that I feel
so lonely alone?

Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Take care of yourself-
no matter how little my words
mean to you now or
how second of a thought
I am to you now,
if a thought at all.
I meant every word
that I said.

Solitude
Mitch Prax May 25
Solitude is calling to me again.
She calls to me on
those dire nights and I
always answer her siren song.
She knows when I am
drained, detached or drowning
and will lift me from the
depths in my
time of need.

Radiant
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
You were a sunflower
inside of my heart-
such a warm radiance
I could always use
in times of darkness.

Bloom
Mitch Prax Nov 2021
Your love is
like a sunflower
the way it blooms upon me
like a field throughout spring.

Cosmos
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
Watch the night sky
in all of its grandeur and mystery
and you will soon realize that
your beauty is far beyond
anything the cosmos
have to offer.
Mitch Prax Jun 24
The ache of
another night
realizing that these
two hearts do not beat
for one another.
The pain of
another morning
yearning to wake up
next to someone
who cares.

Pillow Talk
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
If your pillow had a voice,
what stories could it tell?
Would it tell the tale
of love and loneliness,
of laughter and lust,
of heartbreak and happiness,
or sadness and solitude?
113 · Aug 2020
Faces
Mitch Prax Aug 2020
I hate the way
your face reminds me
of a simpler time-
a collection of distant yet
unforgotten memories.
To this day I am left asking myself:
how could such a sublime smile
evoke such pain?
How can such innocent eyes
conjure such betrayal?
Whenever I see your face,
I can't help but wonder
what could have been.
113 · Apr 2022
Betrayal
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
It is time to accept
that you are not coming back.
It is for the best-
I would not accept you.
What betrays me once
will surely betray me twice
and as many times
as it needs to.
113 · Sep 2020
Peace of Mind
Mitch Prax Sep 2020
Where is my peace
after burning your name
and all the memories it held?
Where is my peace
after drowning the love
that still remained?
After all that's said and done,
where is my peace of mind?
Where is my peace?
113 · Jul 2021
Endless Winter
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
Another endless winter
without you-
just the memories that
kept us warm
so very long
ago.

You planted
a sunflower

The One
Mitch Prax May 2024
Stay in my life
with purpose or
leave and take your
dubiety with you.
Life is too short for games,
and half-assed attempts and platitudes.
I want meaning, I want passion,
I want the one.

Your Universe
Mitch Prax Jan 24
The stars that

and the sun that gives
life to the love that sprouts.
