Was it just a dream
or did that really happen?
I can't tell with you

So here I go as
I put my pen to paper
and see where I go

6:29 PM

You want a haiku
but I'm still trapped in our past-
so utterly trapped

6:26 PM
9/7/19

Ten haikus later
and I'm still trapped on this plane
in need of a drink

6:21 PM

I thought it would be
different by the time I
got home and held you

6:17 PM

Meet me in Japan-
meet me how the scenes inside
of your head plays out

6:11 PM
9/7/19

Throw me to the sharks
and let me see how the beast
inside of you thinks

6:09 PM
9/7/19

The history of
you and me, it's the saddest
story ever told

6:34 PM
9/7/19

Let's forget our lives-
let's forget tomorrow and
dance the night away

9:44 PM

Am I any good for you anymore?
Do my words still make you smile?
Do you still dread my goodbyes?
or have they lost all meaning?

Sometimes I can't let go.
If we've had fun,
chances are I'll still
think about you
from time to time.
If we were friends in high school
chances are I'll still wonder
what you're up to these days.
Those crushes will never leave-
they'll just fade away,
at least until you find a way
back into my mind.
The point is-
if I give up on someone
just know they **** well
deserved it.

The city never sleeps,
it's too busy wallowing
in broken dreams and
smiles as vacant as the buildings
that are too tall,
and too bright
to ever close.

This mountain
is not mine but I
feel the need to climb it.
It mirrors my aching soul
but I'm afraid to reach the peak-
a world of magic,
a world I have been
longing for.

We all feel a little lonely
sometimes more than others
so find someone or something
that can absorb you and
make you forget that you
were ever alone.

Kiss me in waves of
affection and shower me
with all of your love

The Day you leave me-
the flowers will never smell the same,
the sun will never shine the same
in the same way that lightning
will never strike twice.

The dreams won't answer-
the night is getting colder
as the shadows dance

I went to tag her
in a meme but she is now
gone without a trace

5:49 PM

It isn't the moments of joy,
or the merry memories I miss-
it were the moments of silence spent with you.
To be in your presence-
the quietude-
for it was only you who understood me
and my silence better
than myself.

I wonder if you still
tell our story to other people.
I wonder if you’re still
up north with your new man
and you'll say 'I knew a poet'.
I wonder if he will be
showing you pictures of the world,
and you'll say ‘I knew a man
who's seen Melbourne to Reykjavik.’
Sometimes I run into the people
we used to know but they won't
recognize me without you by my side.
They will introduce themselves,
and ask how you're doing and I'll say,
‘I don't know anymore.’

She went to the park
and made the birds, sun and trees
jealous all at once

it's all about who
you eat pizza with at
two in the morning

10:49 PM

I want to be me
but I don't want to be me-
what prison is this?

11:02 PM
1/7/19

There were so many
soft and delicate angles
in your smile.
Was it a weapon forged
to destroy me or
was it a cure created
to save me?
I guess time will tell.

And then you held me
like you'd never let me go-
I wish you hadn't

7:09 PM
30/6/19

Love is a
shout into the void-
a long wait for an echo
that may or may not come
falling back to your lips.

I thought
I was blind
until I witnessed,
first hand, the
beauty in your eyes.
Now I see why
I fell for you.

you found me worthy
and left me feeling worthless
when you turned away

7:28 PM

It’s important
not to take these things personally.
Sometimes people hate you
through no fault of your own.
And sometimes people push you away
just because they’re afraid of what
will happen if you get too close.
And sometimes people leave
because they came to realize
that you weren't right for them
before you could realize that
they weren't right for you.
And that's okay because
not everybody can
love you.

I thought I was over you
until I saw your smile,
a sad smile-
oh, how I wish I could
fix that smile.
I try to justify the flutter
of my heart at the
mere sight of you.
That smile on your face-
oh, how I wish it was
still for me.

I look for peace
in so many people
and in so many places
where, deep down, I know
peace can never be found,
and yet the things we have a
glimmer of hope of finding it,
we run away from.
Such is the irony
of this turbulent life.

Things are okay but
I'd believe it more if it
was coming from you

Even Tokyo
could never come between us
after all this time

11:39 PM

I try and I try
to write the perfect haiku-
as perfect as you

11:25 PM

"Where have you been?"
She asked.
"A little bit here,
a little bit there,
a little bit everywhere."
I said.

Poets born and die
with every stroke of the pen-
so live fast, write young

Another day goes
by where I am reminded of
a life spent with you

6:24 PM
17/6/19

It's true,
the moon - she has kissed me
more times than I can remember.
Me - a little, lost soul in search of light.
She brightened up this soul
with her kisses and care
but wouldn't leave
the sky for me.

broken bones tell stories,
broken souls tell secrets,
and broken hearts tell lies.

I’m shipwrecked,
left in the dark - stranded
in a never-ending sea of despair.
I was sailing for nowhere,
doomed from the start.
No need for an anchor
when I have no destination
or no home to call my own.

loving you did hurt,
but I didn't know it would
cost me my own heart

11:06 PM

Ruffled by feathers
of a brave bird who never
learnt how to take flight

6:10 PM
12/6/19

Don’t live for the weekends,
learn to live for yourself.
Don’t write off those feelings off,
learn to be their friends.
Don’t mistake comfort for love,
learn to weld them into one.

You’re going to feel
that feeling again because
you’re going to fall in love again-
the only difference is that next time
the feeling is going to
last forever.

There are only so many battles
one can fight at any point in time.
to be struggling on so many battlefronts
can leave you weary and even broken
whether they are mental
or physical.
For a mere human mind or body
to be occupied on so many fronts-
well, they were never designed
for that sort of pain.

There are only so
many battles you can fight
so pick them wisely

11:05 PM
10/6/19

I can't miss what was
never mine or never ours-
so why does it hurt?

9/6/19
12:38 PM

I need you to be
more in or more out since I
can't do the 'middle'

8:13 PM

she was a storm that
tore through my heart and my soul
and left me awestruck

12:01 PM

I can be your man
and you can be my woman-
we can be as one.
