( Canadian Poet, Writer and Television Actor )
Atticus
The prettiest girls shine brightest in the dark.
You are enough, a thousand times enough.
What a strange world. We trade our days for things.
I just need you and some sunsets.
Don’t waste any more tomorrows on someone who wastes your todays.
We were strange in love, her and I. Too wild to last, too rare to die.
You and I will be lost and found a thousand times along this cobbled road of us.
When it comes to love we are primates breaking sticks while pointing to our hearts.
Some nights you drink tea, some nights you drink whiskey.
Words will scratch more hearts than swords.
Art has the answers to many of the questions we weren’t brave enough to ask.
We’ve moved on now but if I’m honest I am still a little bit in love with the way that we were.
There will always be that moment when we look at someone for the first time in love with them.
To be alive is the strange and wondrous miracle we forget.
Walk towards the good in life and one day you will arrive.
Depression is being colorblind and constantly told how colorful the world is.
I will follow you, my love, to the edge of all our days, to our very last tomorrows.
Sometimes, to be alone is the best company.
We are never alone, we are all wolves howling to the same moon.
I’ll let you into my heart but wipe your feet at the door.
We, humans, are so tortured by not properly guessing what will make us happy.
Do not fall in love with me, for I will break your heart, long before you realize, you were going to break mine.
The truth is: sometimes you can both do better.
We will never get back the life we waste trying to be normal.
There are magnets in my bones for that iron in her blood.
She found herself over a long and treacherous road and the more treacherous the road became, the more of herself she found.
To a poet every curve of her was a well place word.
You deserve to be the person you were meant to be.
I worry there is something broken in our generation, there are too many sad eyes on happy faces.
The hardest step we all must take is blindly trust in who we are.
What good are wings without the courage to fly?
The right poem finds us exactly when it needs to.
She conquered her demons and wore her scars like wings.
The world is made up of too many girls wondering if they are pretty and too many boys too shy to tell them.
Watch carefully, the magic that occurs when you give a person just enough comfort to be themselves.
In all the wild world, there is no more desperate creation than a human being on the verge of losing love.
She was everything real in a world of make-believe.
The beautiful thing about young love is the truth in our hearts that it will last forever.
Songs live longer than kingdoms.
There is nothing prettier in the whole wide world as a girl in love with every breath she takes.
It’s a sad thing, protecting a breakable heart.
Sometimes I want a quiet life, other times I want to go a little bit f*cking Gatsby.
To a poet, the broken flowers bloom the brightest.
There is always a glimmer in those who have been through the dark.
She was too busy wishing on shooting stars to see the dreams come true around her.
The difference between a ‘player’ and a ‘playboy’ is a few million bucks.
She walked through her life heavy from the mighty wings upon her back.
I’ve never met a strong person with an easy past.
I’m a man full of doubts and I doubt that will change.
Put a girl in moonlight and tell only truths and every man becomes a poet.
