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.

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.

A brief reminder
Mitch Prax Apr 26
I know that sometimes
I can be difficult,
even a bit frustrating,
but just know that
I still love you
and always will.

Candy

Bloom

Perfection

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?

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?

Present
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
You are still present

Solitude

Rain of shine,
the solitude stays the same.
Wherever I go and
whoever I'm with.

Grief
Mitch Prax Aug 2024
Grief is a black cloud lurking above,
it shadows all who we dearly love.
One day it rains and drowns the soul
and we lose that love and pay the toll.

Rain turns to storm and life withers away
draining all the colour leaving nothing but grey.
Oh, how we wish we could turn back time-
to undo this remorse and break the paradigm.

Our tears fall like rain as we look back
at all the memories now faded to black.
But you will live on forever in my mind
as I have no choice but to leave you behind.

In this storm I am trying to find a way
out of this night and back into day
where I can find sun and solace in life again
and look back and smile from a place of zen.

I have done it once and I'll do it again,
to be my strongest every now and then.
Grief is a journey so very long and slow
but even in storms, new seeds can grow.

Endless Winter
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
Another endless winter

just the memories that

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.

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.

Flaws
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I do not

you are flawless,
I love you regardless

Dream about Dreams
Mitch Prax Dec 2024
The time spent with you
went by like a dream.
I dream about those dreams-
moments in time where
I have never felt more awake.

Incomplete
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
Whether I am sad or lonely,
or as happy as can be,
I still think of you.
Even though I am surrounded by joy,
it will never feel complete-
no, not without you.

Diary Excerpts #21
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
Dear diary;
my back aches
from carrying all of
these memories-
my soul aches from
bearing all these regrets
from a distant life
I'd rather forget.

Window
Mitch Prax Jan 2023
I find myself peeking through
a window I had closed long ago.
All that remains is shadow and silence
of a life long left behind.
That place builds up dust now,
an empty room that I
once called home.
109 · 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.

You are a sunflower

I am filled with your joy and

The sun shines down on us

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.

It feels like an

I saw you and I

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.

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?

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.

The Human Heart
Mitch Prax May 2021
How can we

The human heart is
