today was my first day of classes
but everything reminded me of you
I think about you all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't want to

My Friends
Angie Acuña Dec 2013
My friends live with me
They're in my head, in my dreams
Whever I please
More haiku. I'm a lonely person. I also wasn't sure of the syllables in "they're." Oh well.

Violence and Health
Angie Acuña Jun 2014
You make me sick to my stomach
with dozens of butterflies flapping out you name in morse code.
I want to wrap my hands around your insecurities,
strangling them from the neck down.
I wish to ****** your sadness and bury it six feet under with a shovel.
No eulogy.

Sometimes I can see your fears dying in a tub
where I have placed a hair dryer in the water.
I want to see your worst nightmare standing in a pool of blood
because I have shot it down from your mind.
I can hear you misery gasping for air from a lack of your sufferings reaching its lungs.
I want to see the spine of your burdens crack under the weight of your happiness.

You make me a violent person and that's not healthy I suppose,
but lucky for you,
*I was always a sick child.
I swear I won't ****** anyone or anything.
I have decided that since it's now summer, I will definitely be posting more.

now i'm three hundred miles away from you
sitting alone under a tree
watching the quiet stars blink out your name
wishing the wind wasn't so cold

I believe in luck
I believe in coincidences
I believe in fate
I believe in destiny

It's contradictory I know
but so are you

When I first met you
you were strong
          you still are but it's different now
you answer every beck and call
don't listen to advice
you wait by the phone
sulk when he does
you're like a lost puppy

My darling I've never been great with luck
I've never won the lottery
My coincidences always really ****
and my fate is constantly changing
          but you

This has happened
once
twice
before
but the third is not the charm
          (or the fourth)

My darling I'm sorry
but he is not written in your stars
not in your destiny

I'm sorry
          but then again
                    I'm not
I tried so hard
but you didn't listen
you won't

I've been in your position
          We all have
but I got out of the rut
I'll be waiting for you too
          *We all will
a.f., I pray you find your peace

the same way
i love the stars
even when
they don't shine
especially when
they lead me to you

i've cried over you
way too many times
for this to be healthy
so when someone asks
why my eyes are swollen
and look like hell
i'll tell them
that i'm sick

I think that when most people see me, they see all smiles and hear laughter.

My eyes get all squinty when I smile and sometimes, my cheeks literally start twitching.
My sides will hurt from laughing too much, which is expected.
I laugh at everything.

But it's a hollow laugh
And my eyes will never water from it.
My cheeks will always retain their original form

The second you leave the smile will fall
Shattering into a million pieces that you can't see.

They hurt when you step on them.
I just can't come up with any names lately.

Hope
Angie Acuña Apr 2014
Hey.
It's been a while since I last talked to you
(more like a year)

Well anyways
I just wanted to let you know that I still think of you.
(all the time)
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you.
Quite frankly, I'm not even sure if you remember me
but that's all right.

(People never remember me.)

So you see,
the reason I'm trying to send you this crummy Facebook message is because I hear you're going through some stuff
and that you're hurting.
I know what that's like, you know?
For me it happened when you were still here,
but you never noticed.
Again, that's okay
I'm just stating some observations.

I hope that you feel better.
I hope that it doesn't take you as long to smile like it did for me.
I hope you find another silly crush like I had on you.
I hope you see your family again,
not just from the pictures you see on Facebook.
I hope you find a reason to live again.

I'm not sad anymore,
but I'm not happy either.
I hope your life is full of everything you want it to be.
I hope you find your reason to live.
Still trying to work up the courage to send the ****** message.

— The End —
