I know the pain you feel is deep,
your want from life is simple peace.
And though I cannot guarantee,
please listen closely, as I speak.

Presently you stroll alone,
searching for a hand to hold.
You feel your sorrow in your bones,
in harshest sun, you still feel cold.

Pre - dawn, however, is darkest night
that must be followed by morning light.
I pray you won't give up the fight,
the universe will set things right.

I know at times, it seems unclear
that happiness is always near.
But wholly I believe my dear,
someday soon, you'll find some cheer.

They say God is the most important being,
But don't they realize
He's the one
That sends us to Hell?
And don't people understand
That by teaching someone to shoot,
They become vulnerable?
Dramatic irony.
Maybe we should be
More versed in Shakespeare
Than in the Bible.
Maybe then
I wouldn't have so many bullet holes
In my back.
Listening to these depressing songs.
It's ironically giving me the will to be strong,
And I don't mind if they're being played for long.
They're making the oceans of my heart rift,
Letting my soul drift in the cold water.

Staring up into the sun,
Ironically it seems fun.

Dipping in my own sorrow,
Urging me to press play,
Again and again,
Making me feel a little bit insane.

I'm enjoying dwelling in my inexplicable pain,
Making me realize,
That maybe,
Sometimes,
One can be happy by just being sad.

I breathe        because you put air in my lungs
I cry                because you put tears in my ducts
I hurt              because you put pain in my heart

I lived             because you let me

I died              because you took my life

I can't be the guy standing outside your window blaring a song for you,
I can't be that guy waiting in the pouring rain.
I can't be the guy who stops you from getting on the plane,
I can't be that guy who chases the cab with you in it as it drives away.
I can only be one person,
I can only be me.
I can't stop a wedding, bullets, cars, or trains.
But you can stop my heart,
You can make me lose my breath.
Life is nothing like the movies,
I just want to be that guy from the movies who gets the girl.
Explain to me why
In my dreams you kiss my lips
But in life leave me

This haiku is like
Another haiku within
A meta-haiku
Haikus: so easy
A toddler can do them! But
Not sexually.
