Happiness once delivered me a shipment
But then I let her into my life and she couldn’t handle it

Forgive and forget
It’s life so live with it

Take life and love casually
Happiness will come back to me
but only naturally.

Woke up and remembered exactly what my dream was.
Probably because it’s always the same one
The one where I’m alone in a world that’s spinning too fast and there’s nowhere to run.
I don’t want to be alone thinking about the days when had someone.
I don’t want to be alone when I die.
I write love letters with no reply.

I’d love to imagine
A life where anything could happen
What if our dreams were everlasting

I don’t know if how I feel could really be translated.
I wish I would love someone without feeling humiliated.
It’s a lonely ride but I’m on this train.
It’s cold and dark and all I feel is pain.

I’d love to imagine
A life where anything could happen
What if someone showed me even a small ration of compassion.
What if I could get out of puzzle that I’m trapped in.

Don’t try to fulfill yourself through another
Come together already fulfilled within yoursleves and appreciate that in the other

A sense of well being is something no one else can supply
If you want to feel worth, only on yourself can you rely

I called out to you hoping you would hear the sound
I would have wrote you sooner but too busy tossing words around
It’s all connected and at the end of the day I can’t be mad because more than anything it’s self reflective
I shine a light on the foreground
I hope you see things more clearly now
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
I don’t know what’s waiting for me

There is no ball and there is no court
We’re just friends so why can’t you call
Even to keep it short
Why do I always have to be the one to pick up the phone
Sitting at home
Alone
Liquor cabinet dry as a bone
It would be nice to see your name on the screen when my phone rings
Sadly it’s never you
It’s never a friend just wanting to check on things
I’ll wait and maybe you’ll call one day
Maybe it’ll be you just wanting to say “hey”

Life is like a treat
But you have to know sour
Before you know sweet

Love it’s in affect
How long will it last though friends
Please place all your bets
So this is my first haiku since I was told what a haiku was in 4th grade and was then forced to write one

If I leave will you follow me?
It’s all an illusion
Racing for a dream on the horizon
Running from problems
Drowning in substances
Fed up with the chases
Give me something better
I’m dying for an antidote
The end is just a day dream
Hold on tight
It’s all an illusion
Learn how to live because it won’t go away
Devil, I’m glad you came
Someone is calling for me
Something is calling for me
I made my own hell and I got here by myself

I spend time treading water in rainy day reveries.
I’m just a stiff drink.
1 part loneliness
2 parts memories

I was searching for a star and I found a comet
Just the smallest piece of you, please I want it
Even if I had just a fragment
I know my life would be less stagnant

I lay beside you so close yet still reaching so far
I want to be away from the world, just you and me, a view from it all

You see my face, my dear when I waken
You see my face, my dear, my eyes tell that I feel forsaken.

I want you on my mind though

Rain clouds in my heart can’t wait to part
I hear it now
I hope you never stray to far
I feel it now
I cherish when I get to hold you in my arms
I hear you now
I’ll always wonder about you even more than I wonder about the stars

Someone’s dream may be another’s nightmare
Why bother getting to know one another when it won’t get us anywhere
I’ve ran out of way to show you I care
If only the government provided love welfare
We wouldn’t even be here

Sometimes it’s hard to learn from you mistakes Try to move on knowing it’s me that decides my fate
Knowing I’m someone you’ll never be able to replace
Knowing I’ll never be able to forget your face

Attached
Grasping and clinging, holding too tight
I love you, so make me happy
It’s on you to make things right

Love
A nurturing hold while letting things flow
I love you, so just be happy
If that involves me, simply let me know

I wish life were like a musical
Beautiful
And less pharmaceutical
Adderall days and Xanax nights
It bites
I’ve seized flight there’s no light or end in sight
Things crumble
I stumble
Fumble
As things slowly turn to ash
I’ve hit the ground too fast
Aggravated
Obligated to stay animated
Agitated because I never made it

I want to lay in bed with a queen
I want to make love to the woman of my dreams
An artist, a poet, a woman very cultural
Willing to get ******* on the múltiple
I’ll give you everything when it comes to passion
Don’t ask me to share anything else with you
I don’t know what might happen
Let’s keep it in the bedroom for now
Because I like when the neighbors say we’re loud

I’m afraid to let this go any further
I don’t want that feeling we’re I’d do anything for her
I’m hard to love and my love is strong
If it’s just *** how can anything go wrong
No way I’m letting another one in
No way I roll the dice. Think twice
There’s not a chance I’ll win

I know thinking like this I’ll always end up alone
That’s just me though
A lovers heart is something I’ll never own

Dark red lips
Eyes that shoot clips
You better hide when they go off
She’ll take aim and she’ll rarely miss
But you’ll never feel anything as soft
As her skin
If she lets you in
She’s angel
But God help us all

Without you it’s not enough
You send me to the edge with everything I love
I’m just a man who is down on his luck
You’re just looking down on me from above

— The End —
