#Haiku #Life #Love #Tears
Cousin. Brother. Best friend. All one person and now he’s dead.
Sister I love you, but only because I have to. That’s what momma told me, when I said I hate you. I hate the way you smile,
In my eyes I see us, standing side by side, nothing can come between us, no matter how hard people try. In some eyes they see him,
center When I’m with you, I have no worries, but then I don’t see you, don’t talk talk to you,
Life is cruel, when it takes your loved ones. Life is cruel, when you can’t say goodbye. Life is cruel,
I saw him, standing alone in the rain, crying for someone to love him. Hungry, lost,
Trailing kisses, hands on my back, hold me close and I can’t breathe. Perfect romance, my heart beats fast,
It’s a partly cloudy but terribly cold day. I’m running late for school and still have to scrape my truck windows of ice. I finally get there about five, maybe ten, minutes late to my U...
“Can you breathe?” the air is asking, as smoke fills my lungs. I am crouched under a leaf, the tears streaming down my face
Peace comes: When laying under the stars. When wrapped up in his arms. When listening to bird song. When speaking to God above.
Waking up in darkness, the moon shining through my window… With tear filled eyes I sit up and remember what I was dreaming. His smiling face shining.
This storm can’t take away my sorr… This rain can’t wash away my fears… I am scared of all tomorrows, I’m scared to wipe away my tears. I only need someone to listen,
Dear Man, I’m not going to pretend that I u… Pretend that everything is alright… It’s not. I’m hurt.
Tapping fingers on a keyboard, writing directly from my mind. Stuck in the numbness of detachmen… not noticing the hours that tick b… Tracks from tears made slowly,
center Love is a simple thing, but we complicate it. We muddy it up with doubt and fear… Doubt in ourselves.
