The Hummingbird's Song
Mitch Prax Jun 2017
Some hummingbirds
Must dream of sugar
And I remember your lips
Sweeter than sugar
Some hummingbirds
Take pride in their feathers
Yet, vibrant as they are,
Your eyes remain treasures
And now, my broken wing,
It keeps us far apart
But I will continue to sing  
Longing for your heart
and your lips, a work of art
So here’s a song to the girl  
that this hummingbird
still dreams about

Eclipse
Mitch Prax Mar 2019
When I eclipse,
just know that we will meet again
and you will be at my side.
I will shine on you again
and we will give the world
something they won't forget-
a dazzling twilight for all to see.
I am your sun,
you are my moon.
Don't leave me in darkness
anytime soon.

Beacon
Mitch Prax Dec 2018
The distant lights
in your eyes were a beacon
on nights long ago
I would’ve spent alone.

A Story of Adjectives
Mitch Prax May 2018
From known to unknown
From almost to finished
From together to alone
From whole to perished
From safety to danger
From different to normal
From before to after
From devil to angel
From chaos to routine
From angry to placid
From ***** to clean
From bold to timid
From everything that was me
To everything I've feared to be

And I wish you could

New Seeds
Mitch Prax May 2023
It is time for you to let it go.
Only you can be the one to erase,
to rise above and to move on.
Fill your garden with new seeds
and learn to love
what will blossom.

New Year's Blues.
Mitch Prax Jan 2014
I’m not the person that you think I am
I’m not that person anymore
I see them calling, I do not blink an eye
They have the right number, it doesn’t faze me
There’s nothing I can offer,
Nothing I can say
I’m not that person anymore
I’m not who you’re looking for,
Not anymore

Unknown Depths

How foolish I was to

Love and Loss
Mitch Prax Sep 2018
I used to ask myself:
is it better to have loved and lost
than to have never loved at all?
But lately, I wonder how much
one has to love before they start
to loathe every inch of skin
that no one else seems
to love enough
to touch.

For You
Mitch Prax Oct 2022
You live, you breathe,
you laugh and don't even know
that you are all my
love, hope and inspiration
all at once.
Do you even remember this face
and what it was
to be as one?
Every heartbeat still beats for you,
for you are my blood,
my soul and my own.

Ocean of You
Mitch Prax Jun 2020
Drifting across your sea-
carry me away with your waves
away from these people
and this land I have outgrown.
Maybe I will drown
but that's a risk I'm willing to take
if it means I get to
breathe you in.

One
Mitch Prax Jan 2018
One
I have made a mess of you
in my thoughts again.
I didn’t know I could feel this way,
neither did she.
Two hearts, one soul
Two cities, one smile
Yet we’re both scared
for different reasons
She feared I wasn’t real
I feared it wouldn’t last.
Mitch Prax Feb 2019
The left find themselves
caught in between socialism
and a rebellion.
On one hand,
they wish to grant their government
more power,
when on the other,
they claim they cannot be trusted.
Which one is it?
Time is ticking.

One Of My Lies
Mitch Prax Feb 2018
There’s nothing better than
the feeling when someone
contradicts
what you tell yourself
about yourself
every day;
that you may have been lying
to yourself
all this time.

I am...
Mitch Prax Jan 2019
I can warm you like a
cup of tea on a winter's day,
I can chill you like a
winter in the U.K.
I can lift you up and
send you reaching for the stars
or I can make you feel
the weight of a thousand pulsars.
I am the worst feeling in this paradigm,
while, at the same time,
I am the best feeling you can conjure;
I am nostalgia.

She is a Black Hole
Mitch Prax Sep 2019
She is a star
crushing under the weight
of yourself and everything around you.
She devours my light-
it breaks and bends to her will.
Nothing can escape your grasp,
your gaze or your touch.
The force of you is what
always repulsed me.

The me I never knew
Mitch Prax Nov 2013
I watch the me i never knew
I watch him stare back at me

And I watch him fade like a breeze
I bury the me i never knew
I bury him deep beneath me
beneath all the love lost long ago
And i watch him rot so deep below

She's a Supernova
Mitch Prax Mar 2019
She is alone
day after day-

Alone between pages and

are the secrets she
keeps to herself.
She'll tell them one day and
they will explode out of her
like the supernova
that she is.

A Lot Less
Mitch Prax Nov 2019
I forgot how

all I know is that since then,
I've been feeling a lot less lost

Mitch Prax Dec 2017
But loneliness
Doesn’t come from being alone
Loneliness comes from feeling alone
And feeling alone comes
From feeling different
And feeling different
comes from feeling unloved
and you feel unloved
Because you don’t
even love
yourself
