I jumped ship long ago
Sorry you were the last to know
It's seriously not you, it's me
You're rolling your eyes, that old line, I see
But this time it's true, it's really not you
I think that I'm shattered and have run out of glue
Not sure if I can feel anymore
I'm always so numb
Pretty sure scar tissue's what my heart's become
I'm sorry I can't give the love you feel
I'm sorry I can't feel the love you give
I'm sorry about my serious love deficiencies
And my unwillingness to live

Stand me up
Sit me down
Show me who's the boss

Wind me up
Wipe me down
Nail me to a cross

Rip me up
Burn me down
We both know it's no loss

Stars load up the sky
Orion's belt fits too tight
He kicks a few out

I realize I don't have many prerequisites for love
Devotion, truth, transparency?
None of the above
Turns out I'm pathetic as a human being can be
I promise to love you
if you promise to love me

It's true I don't believe in God
Can't say I ever did
It's something that I never questioned, even as a kid
But Santa Claus, now he is real
or at least he used to be
I don't miss God, but I miss the guy who left presents under the tree

Blades of grass add up
Planes and pastures stretch for miles
Giraffes graze the sky
Daily haiku challenge

A tisket or casket
Got a question
May I ask it?
What exactly is a tisket?
It sounds kinda fun
Should I risk it?
Out of the two options
I would pick it

Cheer up
Look up
Everything will be okay

Life's a gift
A silly game
Everyone loves to play

Stop worrying
Don't fret
It'll all make sense

Be positive
Stay open
Let down your defense

Just do it
Get motivated
Get your *** out of bed

Have some coffee
Watch the news
Get out of your head

Keep trying
Never quit
Nothing's easy
Don't you know?

You got to want it
It's in your hands
This is your only show
I tried to be optimistic. Thank you to the two people who took the time to read it.

Words just come to mind
I spit them out like candy
No one understands

He loves her so much more than she loves him
It's terrifying
He's vulnerable now
Stripped to the bone
He's never felt this alone
She looks at him with apathy
His heart gets yanked around
He'd do anything to make her happy
But she's always looking down
Can't look him square in the eye
Can't set him free, even if she tried
He's so vulnerable now
Immersed in her hair, her scent, her eyes
She can never set him free
Even if she tries
