Mathew Welch Poems

The wind carries much more than we see
It carries a lot of what makes you and me
The wind blows and carries lies
Around the world it carries cries
...

When we first met, I would have never thought.
That we would have come as far as we have.
In the beginning, sneaking around trying to not get caught.
Cuddling up, talking and having a good laugh.
...

No matter how stacked the odds seemed against us
We found one another
No matter how unlikely it seemed we could be together
We managed to be with one another.
...

I'm only half of who I used to be without you
I can't find the motivation to do the things I used to do
Food doesn't taste as good as it used to.
How did it come to this, after all we've been through?
...

No one else could make me feel the way you do
No one else could be as beautiful as you
No one else could set me free
No one else could take your place with me.
...

This apartment like a critical post in enemy territory
We held it down for nearly two years
Fighting battle upon battle
Overcoming the trials set in front of us
...

Into the night like a cold staring eye
It lights the way for the crew
Up on the cliff it sits so high
Creating safe passage and view
...
