Jealous | Unset letter

W,

When I talk about
my past lovers,
it's only with
the intention of
making you
jealous.

Love,
ML

Knock | Haiku

some nights I wish you'd
just knock — it's not just my door
I'll let you in through

Trapped | Haiku

when people feel trapped
sometimes they're the prisoner
sometimes they're the cell

Longer | Haiku

the sound of rain on
a moving train makes me wish
the trip was longer

Freely | Haiku

what does it mean when
the time they used to give free—
ly, we beg for now?

Infidelity | Tanka

infidelity
can be to one's own self for
choosing another
person's happiness over
being faithful to your own

Now | Free verse

let me
want your future —
   one that's
   certain and sturdy
and need your now —
   where we're
   calm and quiet

where waking up
   doesn't hurt
   anymore
   because it's
   no longer
   just
   a dream
