Bottom of the Sea
Mitch Prax Jun 2024
My heart sank to
the bottom of your sea
and now I wait for
it to float back
up to me.

Time
Mitch Prax Nov 2013
Where did all the time go?
The time that flows through the wind
It’s a cold breeze out tonight
There’s no one to hear my call
The night is silent
The voices echo
They echo through my head
They echo through you all
It feels like I’ve been put on mute
I try my best to listen and understand
It’s like deciphering an ancient language
My words are lost, our time is up
Where did all the time go?
I don’t know what’s happening
Suddenly I can’t talk anymore
It’s taken too long to realise
That you’re all gone…

Mitch Prax Mar 2019
Up until 4 am,
for no reason at all-
time just ran away,
And I wish you could
have stayed for
one more night.

The Unicorn
Mitch Prax Jan 2020
Wherever you trail
leaves me chasing for more-
every glimmer in your eyes
leaving me entranced.
Maybe it's a spell of the unicorn,
or maybe this is one big dream.
All I know is that I need
more of you in my life.

Empty
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
My mind

Soulmates
Mitch Prax Feb 2019
Our two souls were
brought together
from different worlds-
perhaps to be entwined.
Our stories were weaved
into one-
through the seas and storms
that couldn't keep us apart.

Your Garden
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Each one of your smiles
is a sunflower planted in my soul.
Dispel of this darkness and despair
and cover it with your garden.

I Wait.
Mitch Prax Jun 2018
I wait for you
In my thoughts,
and in my dreams.
I don't know how long you'll take,
all I know is that you'll be here soon.
My reach is far,
and my hopes are big,
after coming to the realization
that you probably won't come,
and that this is all
in my head.

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

Key To My Heart
Mitch Prax Jan 2018
I’m sorry that you
have to carry around
that key to my heart,
that **** rusted thing,
not knowing what it unlocked.
I’m sorry that we may never meet
or that you may never unshackle me
from these heavy chains.
This is not your burden,
only mine to carry.
So treat this key
As a mystery, as a treasure
from me to you.
Let it hang around your neck
Or under your pillow
and remember that someday
somewhere is waiting to be unlocked;
a treasure for the ages.
Remember not to worry;
this story doesn’t need
a happy ending
or an ending at all.

Leave a Light on
Mitch Prax Sep 2017
You're just what I need
Needed...
I miss you
But I know I'm not supposed to
You're gone now
And I need to accept that
Still, I tell myself
We'll meet again
And that you still
Think about me too
So all I can hope
Is that you don't forget me
Don't forget what we shared
If only for a little while
All I can hope
Is that you leave a light on
For what
The future holds

Spring!
Mitch Prax Aug 2020
Sunflowers bloom

Ah yes,

Rock Bottom

Just when I thought
I hit rock bottom
I always find a way
to drill down

A Part of Me
Mitch Prax May 2020
There's still
a part of me in London-
I left it in my dingy block
on Deptford High Street.
Another part of me still
remains in St James Park,
somewhere in the flowers
and another somewhere in
the markets of Camden Town.
I don't think it'll ever leave.

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.

Broken
Mitch Prax Jun 2019
broken bones tell stories,
broken souls tell secrets,
and broken hearts tell lies.

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.

Chai
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
It's late at night,
I don't know what to write.
There's a hint of chai in the air
to chase away the despair.
With Chai as warm as can be,
how could I not feel glee?
I pick up the pen and close my eyes-
it's just me, my Chai
and the night skies.

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.

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.

Forgiveness
Mitch Prax Aug 2020
Forgiveness
was never my forte.
I never try to forget,
nor would I want to.
Is this why it is
so hard for me
to forgive?

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.

Somewhere tonight
there’s a girl writing a song
between working two jobs,
ignoring the voices that
tell her to give up.
I hope she never does.
I hope her future
is a bright one.

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.

How To Say Goodbye
Mitch Prax Jan 2019
Yes,
it's true-
I still dream about you,
and I still write about
all those nights I told the moon
about you and your smile.
I would wake up the next morning
with a smile of my own
knowing that you exist.
So this one is for every smile
and every song we shared.
This one is for those countless hours
on the phone-
they flew by, didn't they?
This one is for all the postcards
I tried so hard to hold on to-
they were all I had left so,
most of all,
this one is how I say
goodbye.

Just Another Day
Mitch Prax Mar 2018
Today was a good day
and yet I still felt empty
at the end of it while laying
on my bed drowning in music
just like every other day.
Smiling, I close my eyes
And turn up the volume;
some days will have highs
and some days will have lows;
It will be okay.

The Brightest Light.
Mitch Prax Jun 2018
There's a fog that will not lift
It blocks my path;
all I can do is drift.
Despite how lost I may be,
I still see a light
in front of me.
I cannot tell just what it is,
a figure, maybe even you
or a me I never knew.
The figure still shines and I follow
through the shadow and cold.
Lead the way, tell me where to go.

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.

Sparks
