Hair is cut and beards are shaved
Improve with age like wine
Bodies wither inevitably
But I will always remember
Caring hands and loving arms
The things not rightly mine
Years will try to steal them back
Still I will always remember
Rain will pour and swings will creek
While sunsets change their hues
Beauty burrows into the heart
So I will always remember
Feelings fade and faces change
And what we search for too
We may outgrow the love we have
But I will always remember

103014 || 12:04AM || "Not Hearing From You"
I like not hearing from you
Because some days I feel good and strong
And I lessen the guilt knowing how much we cared
Convincing myself that
you have moved on.
I like not hearing from you
Because most days I cannot pull through
And I lessen the pain knowing how much we cared
Convincing myself that
you miss me too.

If Ever
If ever there does come a day
I wish more not to see
Please lock me up inside myself
And throw away the key
For rather would I bear life's pain
A while with all it's woe
Than end my life forsaking
All the love I've yet to know

Resistance
I stopped finishing songs lyrics
I stopped my poetry too
I stopped because at some point
I started writing just for you.
I'm starting to get better
I'm starting to like distance
I'm starting to write songs again
I'm stopping this resistance.

Everlong Nights
You know, you're still my lullaby,
The place my slumber lies.
Your words, the swaying mobile
that danced above my eyes.
Now that you're gone,
so is my rest.
I close my eyes in vain.
Wide awake I spend my nights
with walks down memory lane.
Nocturnal now, like wolves at hunt,
while you remain the sheep.
I'm still here counting
endless minutes,
I don't get to sleep.

Falling
Falling isn't pleasant
I'd rather jump or roll
For falling is an action
That's done with no control
Falling isn't pleasant
You may as well have drowned
For falling means at some point
You're bound to hit the ground

Eyes Are The Window
I lost myself inside your eyes
While searching for your soul
The window not quite clear enough
I sought some crack or hole
Perhaps I should have been more shrewd
And not slipped down your mind
All through your head
Then in your chest
I should have stayed behind
I lost myself inside your eyes
Then fell and saw the view
I found your soul inside your heart
And found myself there, too

Convinced
You seem to be convinced
I forgot our love was true
You seem to be convinced
I have gotten over you
While here I am convinced
Your love will always seize me
But we deserve to move on
And I just want that easy

For Sweetness
Sweet, don't keep yourself down
You have so much to offer
In this cold and harsh world
A warm heart makes it softer

Short Poems
Short poems are easy to write
They are quick to think up
and bombard me at night
Though I miss our long verses
and exchanges of rhyme
I know they belong
to a simpler time.

Not A Day
Is it difficult for you to fall asleep?
Do you think about me still?
Not a day's gone by I haven't thought of you.
And I fear one never will.
