Please make it stop
The hurt
The pain
The thoughts
The loss
The emotion
The tears

She doesn't deserve
The words
The torment
The blame
The guilt
The stress
The anguish

I promised there would be
No anger
No resentment
No hatred
No pressure
No expectations
No sadness

But it won't stop.  
The verses keep coming
In my heart I know
I've kept my promises
Though I know it doesn't seem it

Echo in my head
Those two words that ruined me
You said "I'm sorry"
Haiku is not something I've ever been comfortable using.  Something with the structure of it.  But I was feeling so uncomfortable when I wrote this that I seemed to gravitate to something else uncomfortable

Never seen
Yet can't unsee
Burning in my mind
Searing in my brain
The image of you and him

Its a punch in the gut
My breath gone
No air left for me to gasp
Just this sickening thought
The image of you and him

I said those three words
Yet my heart sank when I saw
The look on your face
It was even worse than
The image of you and him

The harder I try
The more I push you away
But I can't be aloof
So what will I be left with?
The image of you and him

The effort so intense
Would be worth every second
But instead I'm exhausted
Close my eyes only to see
The image of you and him

Never seen
But can't unsee
The image of you and him

Hot water freezes faster than cold
Wearing layers in the heat keeps you cool
Hummingbirds are the most aggressive bird
Sometimes life doesn't make sense

There are seashell fossils on mountain tops
On Venus, a day is longer than a year
Your head ages slightly faster than your feet
Sometimes life doesn't make sense

I know I'm not perfect
And neither are we
But together we could have been
Because
Sometimes life just doesn't make sense

But what is sense
When you stop to think
A spiral like that
Could drive you to drink

You can rationalize,
Justify,
Make recompense...
But sometimes life just doesn't make sense

I was flying high
Far above the rest
Loving the feeling
The feeling of Freedom
But then reality made me realize
That men are not supposed to fly

We're not supposed to fly
And we're not supposed to cry
Now it feels my hearts about to die
For men are not supposed to fly

Now the wind is gone
Vanished from beneath me
As I begin to fall
I now can see
That men are not supposed to fly

We're not supposed to fly
And we're not supposed to cry
Now it feels my hearts about to die
For men are not supposed to fly

I want to grow wings
And get the feeling back
So I can soar high once again
But again reality sets in
That men are not supposed to fly

We're not supposed to fly
And we're not supposed to cry
Now it feels my hearts about to die
For men are not supposed to fly
