Last Thread
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
In the end,
I had no choice but
to cut the last thread
that sewed us
together.

Soulflowers
Mitch Prax Dec 2021
Your smile sends sunflowers
sprouting from my soul,
destroying the dark and
leaving light in your wake.

December
Mitch Prax Nov 2024
December creeps up on us,
and suddenly, I feel unburdened
from all I have carried this year.
No longer stuck, no longer trudging
through the days, weeks, months
I thought would never end.
Time to cleanse my soul of all
the turmoil and ties I do not
wish to carry into the new year.

Heartlessness
Mitch Prax Jul 2020
As I come to terms with
the heartlessness within me,
I lose count of how many times
my heart has been broken-
how many shards still remain.
I may never recall,
but what I do know
is that the love you seek
within me does not remain.

Barely

Hell,

Your Song
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
I do not
want this silence
to be the death of us.
I want to find a way back
to your laughter and song.

A Letter to A
Mitch Prax Oct 2024
I am still in awe of the colours
you have painted into my life and
the magic you weave into this world.
To be of the same blood is an honor
I will never take for granted and
to be the one of the same soul
is something I will always cherish.
Thank you for giving me the
hope and strength to keep going
in a world that would be so
cold and bleak without you.

This Heart
Mitch Prax Mar 2024
My heart is a
sanctuary of silence,
a place where few have ever glimpsed.
The demons may try to penetrate its walls
but this heart has always proved stronger
than what I gave it credit for.

Chemistry

When?
Mitch Prax May 2021
When do these thoughts stop?
When will be the day when
I stop thinking about you?
When will be the day when
I stop asking
"what can I do?"

Starry Night
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Maybe we
should look at the moon
together
the next time
we miss each other.
Knowing we share the same
starry night
will just have to do
for now.

With Me
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
I carry you with me
wherever I go
between heart and soul,
in the extraordinary and
the ordinary moments in life.
I keep you in these eyes
that dream of a future
of you and I,
in my lips
that tell the tale of this hardship,
in my hands
that write of our wonderland,
in the mind
that never left you behind.

Detonation
Mitch Prax Jun 2024
Do you ever
lose so much that
you become all too aware
just how temporary it can all be?
Like the ticking time bomb of love,
with each word inching closer
to detonation.

The Abyss
Mitch Prax Jul 2020
Do you find yourself
staring into the abyss when
there is no more light
left to be found?
We are only human-
were we ever meant to
know such dread?

The Lesson
Mitch Prax Jul 2024
Learning to look  at you from afar,
to not reach you with these hands,
to get used to the silence,
to become strangers
once again
is one of the
most difficult
lessons I have endured
and am still learning.

Diary Excerpts #36
Mitch Prax Feb 2021
Dear diary;
I suppose I do consider myself
to be that of a
hopeless romantic.
But I wonder...
why are they considered hopeless and
can you be one without
the other?

Lose Myself
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
I want to lose myself-
not through drugs or fantasy
but through travelling the world.
I want to dive into cultures
and forget where I'm from.

Purgatory

Trapped

I'm in purgatory,

After Midnight

not knowing what I'm looking for.
Just longing and searching

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.

Hugs
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
Sometimes we just need a hug
for no reason at all.
Sometimes its best to
bury yourself in someone
and in that space, find yourself.
Sometimes we just need the warmth
of skin against skin and
in that warmth, find joy.

From Within
Mitch Prax Mar 2024
If you know me by my writing,
be prepared to know me by my silence,
for the demons from within and beyond
have choked the voice out of me.
I don't want to speak anymore,
I only watch and
I write.

Say my Piece
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I wish I was

but I cannot bite my tongue

I will not accept defeat
and I will not let you leave

Caspian

Whatever happened to
baby Cas or our dreams of
leaving this all behind?
I still think about him

just as I think about us
from time to time.
Is he all grown up now?
Have you outgrown me?

Eulogy for Daniel

Recharge
Mitch Prax Jul 2024
We all have different
ways of healing.
For me, I need solitude,
so much solitude and silence.
To just be with myself and
my thoughts is how I
recharge that battery that
never had much spark
to begin with.

The Girl With Blue Hair
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
Reflections under a pale moon
her hair shimmers like neptune.
We look up at the stars with awed eyes
and watch the cosmos as time flies.
Her blue hair as blue as her heart,
yet she is still my favorite work of art.
Yes, it's true, her heart is torn,
but like the stars above, we are reborn.
So let us look to the cosmos-
to the heavens we are so close.
Magnificent are the angels up there
as is the girl with blue hair.
