It’s a sickness of the mind
Clouding judgements, thoughts, visions
It leaves you utterly blind
To all you leave behind
And quite soon you will find
You made all the wrong decisions

It breaks your every bone
Leaves you crying and alone
It all happened so fast
Your life slipped out of your grasp
Before you could start to say
“Come back, I love you, please stay”

Love is doomed to fail
Of that you must be sure
Sadness will prevail
Your face is going pale
Your heart is oh so frail
Can’t force love to be pure

Hearts break and shatter
So better to keep it hidden
Away from all the chatter
From those you think matter
Ignore the pitter-patter
Or the ache again will begin

It breaks your every bone
Leaves you crying and alone
It all happened so fast
Your life slipped out of your grasp
Before you could start to say
“Come back, I love you, please stay”

There is a haiku
Waiting to be written, but
Never written down.

“Oh, I forgot about you”
There goes a brick.

“You don’t mind if we go without you, right?”
Thud, there’s another.

“Could you just shut up for a second?”
Another.

“I can’t be around you when you’re sad”
Another.

“What’s wrong with you? I have it worse”
And another.

“Honestly, I didn’t notice you were here”
The bricks stack nicely on one another.

“I’d rather hang out with someone else, sorry”
My hands are raw from building.

“You’re a friend, you’re just not a best friend, y’know?”
The wall is getting higher.

“...”
I can’t see anyone anymore.
