Window Seat Haiku

..so she left behind 
everyone who laughed at her
to follow her dreams.

Complicated Too

We complicate things
maybe we don't mean to
but we do
we complicate things 
because we're complicated 
so very complicated 
we know better 
or at least we say we do 
but we refuse to do better 
why is that
maybe we're afraid 
and in that fear 
we complicate things 
maybe we don't mean to 
but we do 
we complicate things 
it's a waste of time 
time that will never be recovered 
only remembered as time wasted 
is that what we want 
maybe it is 
and that's why we're complicated 
so very complicated 
or maybe we're just being stupid

L.O.V.E. Notes: One Day

Maybe one day
you always say that to me
but when you say that to me
I believe you
because I'm a believer too
so yes
maybe one day
we can get to know each other
and learn from one another
I like what I see already
but I won't move unless you're ready
maybe one day
you'll see my heart
and even after knowing my past
we can build something that will last
but not so fast
maybe one day
you always say that
but God willing
we can see it through
because I'm a believer too
so yes
maybe one day
because it's one day worth hoping for

You can't trust your eyes 
until you first clear out what 
blinds them of the truth.

Selfish Tears

Waking up with tears on my face

next to an empty space

doesn't get any easier

maybe I really do like to be in pain 

I know the mere thought sounds insane 

but how else do you explain it

there are moments I start shaking 

it's like I can feel my heart breaking 

worse than ever before 

I don't want to do this anymore 

my own hurt pales in comparison 

considering all the lives lost

how can we say we value death 

when we turn tragedies into trends 

this must be where humanity ends

man do I feel pathetic 

crying as a result of my own sorrow 

when there's no promise of tomorrow 

not for any of us

why don't we share our tears

the way we share our cheers 

when something good happens for us

because that's what we all want 

something good to happen for us all

L.O.V.E. Notes: Shine On Me

Beautiful being of light 

please shine on me

even if it's just one ray 

please shine on me

because I need it 

and I deserve it 

I deserve you 

beautiful being of light 

embrace me 

accept my heart 

don't judge my past 

I'm still a work in progress 

but I need more 

I need you 

not to save me 

but to help me save myself 

please shine on me 

even if it's just one ray 

please shine on me 

beautiful being of light 

that's all I ask 

just one ray 

because I have my own light 

I just need help to see it

Empty Seats

They say your time will come 
and to just be patient 
so once again I'm patiently waiting 
but my patience is fading 
like a patient in a waiting room 
just hoping the doctor will see me soon
hoping he brings some good news 
like you're not dying
so don't ever stop trying 
but I'd be lying if I said I could save you 
very well then
I guess it's up to me then
somehow I knew it would be 
I guess that's how it should be 
my apologies 
they always say patience is a virtue 
without saying impatience can hurt you
so I'm to blame for any bruises 
but they were just bruises 
scars were just cuts
cuts that eventually healed on their own 
so if I remember to be patient 
and that I can save myself 
why wait on someone else at all

L.O.V.E. Notes: For A Second

Maybe we can pretend
pretend that it's just us two 
even if it's for a second 
I know it wouldn't be fair 
but only temporary 
like something to numb the pain 
at the risk of causing more 
but if it's too much to ask for 
then maybe we can pretend 
pretend that it's just us two 
even if it's for a second 
I know that scares you 
me too 
but how can it be wrong 
when it feels so right 
that's why I rather pretend 
even if it's for a second 
pretend that it's just us two 
because being without you 
just doesn't seem real at all

Is It Too Late To Haiku

Sometimes you wish that 
one person would just come back 
so you'll stop crying.
