we die from the start
a journey that leads nowhere
can't i be happy?
this is my first real attempt at a haiku, and i'm not sure how it turned out. feedback is appreciated.

dear dreamcatcher,
i thought you were supposed
to take away the nightmares
not get them *out of my head

and *into my life
i've always believed in dreamcatchers. i guess i like putting my hope in something else.

last texts are always the worst

but how would i know?

i've only ever gotten one.

it took a moment, but i understood what it meant:

she wasn't coming back.

it was that simple.

it feels hollow, empty, and lonely.

i felt everything all at once.

i wished i could reread all our old conversations,

and relive a time when we were both okay.

but now i'm not okay and she is gone.
this is awful, but i don't care, i just miss my best friend.

when i knew you
you lit cigarettes in your mouth
and flowers in my heart. blossoms
wrapped like vines of ivy in my
bones, and your arms wrapped
around me. tulips touched my arms,
and two lips touched my cheek.
an oak tree keeps me tall, and
you kept me grounded. with you,
every day was like springtime,
everyday was happiness. and now
you are gone, and everyday is
winter.
i not sure if you'd call this poetry, but it's something.

— The End —
