Haiku Series #71

Repeating mantras
Over and over again
Be brave, please be brave

Numb

I falter when I step
The way it spins around me
S l o w l y at first,
                    then faster and faster
But I still don't fall
All I want is the ground
I can't feel it beneath my feet
Not even the pain
                    I'm numb to everything
But it DEMANDS to be felt
So instead I lose my breath
And my vision fades
Scattered and broken pieces of your face
                    invade my mind
Distorted voices whisper against my ear
But the words are muddled,
                     worse, dripping with venom
Sing me to sleep
I want to forget

Haiku Series #70

Hurts to say out loud
But I've always needed you
Now more than ever

Haiku Series #69

Isn't it funny
How slowly the minutes pass
Then blink, it's all gone

Haiku Series #68

As much as I try
I can't remember your voice
But always your words

Haiku Series #67

I am trapped within
almost interactions, close
to you but not quite

Facade

Doesn't your mask get heavy?
Must be hard to keep it all straight
Your "exaggerated truths"
Who am I talking to today?
Don't like this version either anyway
Are you tired yet?
Because you exhaust me
And my half smile is starting to match yours
The sound of your voice makes me sad
Your eyes look desperate
For a second you almost got me
But you're still a jerk
You're not ready anyway
My fingers can't smooth the creases that line your brow
So I won't reach out
           Or get pulled in
                       I'll lay low
Even if you shed the veil I wouldn't know who you are
Would you?

Haiku Series #66

These lyrics tease me
Churning memories I hid
Fresh cuts on my skin

Haiku Series #65

Blinding lights pierce me
Ripping into the center
Relentless and cruel

Haiku Series #64

Broken wings can fly
It changes from day to day
Hurts a little less

Haiku Series #63

Can't see past today
To know where I am going
My feet cemented

Haiku Series #62

In the depths of night
It's only you I think of
Burrowed in my dreams

Haiku Series #61

The cover of night
Chased away by dawning sun
I see the real you

Haiku Series #60

Don't know what to do
Would be so easy to stay
And watch it burn down

Haiku Series #59

Neither right nor wrong
Simply there in front of me
Waiting to be caught

Haiku Series #58

These new beginnings
Are difficult to take in
Yet I embrace them
