Nothing will last.
And eventually one of you will leave.
Because no matter how much
you wanted to save someone from drowning,
you will always be busy
trying to save yourself from the flood.
It's scary that one day,
*We might regret all of this.
We won't. This won't end.

Can poetry breathe
Without taking away our
Breath in the process?
the ocean holds and kisses
the sky so softly.

floating away with the stream
give back my childhood
Trying out another haiku.

What's worse to you?
Being ignored or being used?
How about when they're interlaced
Still impossible to choose

No matter what
You lose
Loud noises
Soft cries
Fake smiles
False lies

Badly beaten
Hearts broken
Watery eyes
****** knives

Scarred wrists
Shaky legs
Unspoken words
Bruised arms

Happiness ended
Pain unknown
This is the
Abusive "home"
