I prefer
the certainty
of separation
Than the
uncertainty
of 'almost'
Mitch Prax Apr 2020
I was walking in circles
trying to reach you
in your corner:
unattainable.
But fate intervened,
bridging our parallel worlds.
Just like that,
love bridged our paths.
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
It came like a cloud
that appeared out of nowhere,
like an unexpected storm
upon my shores without warning.
One moment there was sun,
and the next,
darkness.
Mitch Prax Dec 2013
There’s not a flaw in the world
that could keep me away from you
There’s not a bridge in the world
that could keep me falling through
And now you're all that's in my mind
Every feature, so incredible
It’s times like these i want to rewind
Because you’re so unforgettable
Mitch Prax Oct 2024
My rocket crashed
into a long, lost moon
after you steered me off course.
How foolish I was to
trust you as its
commander through
unknown depths.
Mitch Prax Jun 2023
Some pains can go unseen,
rather, they are carved into the soul,
an endless chasm that bleeds forever.
These pains are silent to the world,
but they tear us apart from within.
And only from deep within
are crying out so loud that
only our demons can hear.
Mitch Prax Jan 2015
You are prettier than a peacock's feathers
Sweeter than all of the sugars
Funnier than the highest of jesters
Like the distant stars,
You cannot be surpassed
You are my universe,
nothing is more vast
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
What is worse
than missing someone who
does not even think
about you?
Mitch Prax May 2022
A series of mistakes
had to happen for you
to become who
you are
today.
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
You will never
find the same love
twice.
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
Cancel culture is
built on the sin of
revenge and not the virtue of
forgiveness.
Mitch Prax Dec 2018
She put stars into her soup
with a pinch of hope
and a touch of
glitter dust.
Mitch Prax Jul 2023
I don't know you anymore
and that is both beautiful
and terrifying at
the same time.
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
Yes,
it hurt,
but not so much
for what you did,
but because of your dishonesty.
You ran away with the moon
and blamed it on the sun.
You left me in
the dark.
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
It's getting better,
it's getting bad,
it's getting better,
it's getting bad,
it's getting better,
it's getting bad,
it's getting better,
it's getting bad.
Mitch Prax Dec 2024
Am I over it?
Not really.
Will I survive?
Probably.
Mitch Prax May 2021
Never admit defeat
when there's still
time to
win.
Mitch Prax May 2022
Yes,
I accepted it,
but that doesn't mean
it does not make
me sad.
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
No, you can't.
You can't just sweep someone
off their feet and
walk away.
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
This world
doesn't need me-
can't you tell from its silence?
It's deafening.
Mitch Prax Nov 2018
I hope wherever you wander,
you find a piece of me
just like wherever I wander,
I find a piece of you.
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I am
devouring myself
once again.
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Bound
by words
I cannot speak.
Caged
by thoughts
that leave me weak.
Mitch Prax Oct 2014
and now
because of you
i know i
have a heart

and now
because of you
i wish i
didn’t
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
I will wait for you
where the sunflowers
meet the sun.
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
All this thinking,
and for what?
Nothing.
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
What a contradiction it is
to feel too much while
feeling nothing at all.
Mitch Prax Dec 2024
You cannot
miss what never existed,
right?
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
I don't want to
be your next station,
I want to be your
destination.
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
"We are here for you, always."
"You can tell us anything, always."
"We are so glad you are in our lives."
"We love you, we care for you."
"We will never leave you."
"We are your friends, always."
Liars.
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
I have dreams
that only you can
make come
true.
Mitch Prax Jan 2023
You cannot teach
someone how to love you-
you can only find
someone who does.
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I need my solitude
like the sunflowers
need the sun.
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Your eyes
are flowers I have
never seen
before.
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
We can see the galaxies
beyond the Milky Way
the way we can see the pain
beyond our smiles.
Mitch Prax May 2022
What is sadder:
to forget or to remember?
Mitch Prax May 2022
I do not
feel loved,
never have and I
would not know what to do
anyway.
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I was born up there,
between the stars and the strange,
between the silence and space.
I was born up there,
alone and afraid and
far from anything we call human.
I was born up there,
as an alien, an outsider, a foreigner,
a small gift sent from the cosmos.
I was born up there,
thrown down to Earth
with nothing but by innocence
to guide me through this
rock I call my home.
Mitch Prax Jan 25
Some days the
urge to reach out to
you is stronger than others.
That urge turns to an ache
when I remember how
you cut that line
so very long ago.
Mitch Prax Nov 2022
Maybe I will never understand
how you took control this heart.
Was it sorcery or something sinister?
No, I suspect it had something to do with
the sweetness of your soul or
your beauty that leave
even the nymphs
in awe.

Us
Mitch Prax Oct 2019
Us
It's never the right time
for us,
and since there is more us-
not now, not ever,
I will cherish 'us'
from our past
and from my dreams.
I will cherish 'us'
with my poetry,
and with the photographs
I still have scattered
in the shadows.
Mitch Prax Mar 2019
Sometimes
it feels like
the only way forward
is a U-turn
back towards yesterday-
heading for the past.
For it is there
where my heart
doesn't want to leave.
Mitch Prax Jun 2020
It's cold out
tonight-
I hope you still have
a vacancy left
in your heart
for this weary
soul.
Mitch Prax Feb 2024
When I think about the adventures,
the laughs, the meals, the memories,
the highs and even the lows,
I am always left with a smile
and heart full of JOY.
No matter the season,
no matter the country,
I will be your friend,
partner and lover in every
adventure, hardship and celebration
we shall face together.
Your life and your soul
is a spark of inspiration and
your smile sets my heart ablaze.
If you continue to warm me,
I will continue by your side
whether it be at home or
a land so far away-
I will continue to support you
and spoil you in every
way that I can.
Mitch Prax Jun 2019
"Where have you been?"
She asked.
"A little bit here,
a little bit there,
a little bit everywhere."
I said.
Mitch Prax Jan 2020
heartbreak
after heartbreak-
can you make me
believe that love isn't
this vicious?
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
Arriving in Vienna
with a broken heart and
no place to place to go.
I wander the empty streets-
it's almost midnight and I
am in search of a distraction.
A bottle of wine later and
some good company by my side,
I think I might be alright.
It's one sleep 'til the new year and
I think I might be alright.
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
All alone with the
voices in your head.
Now I'm face to face
with the living dead.
Mitch Prax May 2023
We are at our
most vulnerable
when we are in love.
The power to ruin lies
in their hands because
our heart is open.
