Total War

Caught up in madness
Reduced to nothing by shame
Anger reigns supreme.

Common Ground

Uncomprehending,
Failing to see eye to eye.
Can’t find common ground.

Water falls

Unwilling to cry,
Cannot control the torrent,
Waiting for low tide.

Cloudy

Eternally lost,
Forever hopeless, resigned;
No silver lining.

Numb?

Anger, rage, lust, want;
Dread, dismay, despair, loathing;
Fear the reigning emotion.

Deserted

What I wouldn’t give
To be a barren desert,
For these tears to dry.

Vow

When love doesn’t last,
it’s easy to blame oneself;
I promise not to.

Scorn

“Hell hath no fury,”
but the heart has no desire
to avenge itself.

Not good enough

Incapable of
being your one and only;
I am not the one.

Change

If you could have known,
If you could have changed your ways,
Would you still love me?

Vengeance

Someday, you will know
Without my intervention,
The pain you’ve caused me.

Ten...

Ten years full of lies,
Ten hours full of agony,
Ten minutes to end.

Better to have loved...?

I gave you my heart
yesterday it was returned;
Damaged, bruised, abused.

Eyes Wide Open

No longer under
your intoxicating spell;
Eyes open at last.

Desolate

Loneliness, despair;
Love is long gone from this heart
A black hole remains.

For you...

Love has no real place;
In this heart of mine, disgraced.
Shattered, broken, dead.

Discovery

If true love is blind,
Then I truly have loved you.
You have not been true.

Haiku

A haiku a day
to express my thoughts and fears,
my hopes and desires.
