Somewhere lies a haiku.

“I could write, & I’d do it well without stopping;
simply because it would give me something to do.
He could take me places & make me laugh;
but I’d still be wishing he was you.
I could go somewhere far, far away.
I could toss aside every other memory.
I could, you know, if I really wanted to.
but you’re all these eyes choose to see.
I will always be unfinished
like the poem I tried so hard to write.
Things would always be difficult
but I would always try to fight.
Every line would be a reminder
of the sweetest mistake there is.
& each track played back in repeat
will prove how it’s you I often miss.
These outstretched arms, they would tirelessly wait -
as time goes so torturous, here she lies, broken.
Every new day would only be a painful reminder;
the rain rhythmically dropping with every word unspoken.”

I write this free verse.
I dedicate words to you.
Again I will write.
Tonight I shall dream of you.
