Sing for me, my sweet
You know I sing for you now
From the depths of me
My attempt at a haiku
 May 2018 stargazer
James Joyce
Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
How love that passes is enough.

Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead, and how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
Love is aweary now.

I used to think you were my saving grace but you ended up being a nail in my coffin

I'm biting my skin
Because my nails
Well, they've been bitten to the nub
My anxiety is taking over
But I won't let it show
I don't know what to say
So the only reason my mouth is open
Is so it can wrap around my flesh
If you gave me back my blade,
I would stop biting my nails
I am biting my nails, then moving onto the skin around it. I honestly don't know why I wrote this, but I did, and I am going to post it.

You feel me but am I really here?
You talk to me But am I really listening?
You laugh with me but am I really happy?
You assume that this is me
This gossiping hair obsessed girl
H
I
D
But is this really me?            
Did I hide it from you?
Scared you would judge
And hurt me
And leave me even more broken than I was before
Would you?
If I showed
That I loved books
More than makeup
That I thought unique things
And had my own thoughts
Would you judge?
Me      Me
If          If
  I           I

we just want to get out of here
to run across the galaxy
skinning our knees on asteroids
dipping our toes in lakes of nebulae
playing ball with planets
flying through the universe

because we can't breath this oxygen the earth supplied us
because we ripped the chains
that held us to earth with our teeth
eating up the determination
that pulled on us to get us out out out
to finally go on adventures
to finally breath in the stars
to finally take a spaceship to another place
because we just want to get out of here
