Time

Here 
I will wait 
To see what will change 
And what will stay the same 
I wish I had stayed 
When it wasn't my choice 
So I left 
And you grew old 
It's like I don't recognize you anymore 
But they all do 

Ever since she passed 
Nothing has been the same 
We no longer have Easter together 
I've spent half of my life without you 
But now is when I miss you more 
Cause I know I'll never see you again 

And I don't know how long it'll be 
Until my grandmother passes
It's been three years from when they said she would 
And I hope they're wrong 
But for some reason this time 
I know they're not 
And I'm gonna miss all the time I never got to have

  • What is left

    [This is a reposted edited version of a previous poem of mine.]

     

    when all we have is spent–

    what will we have left?



    people once before us–

  • down the street

    i walked down the street
    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
