She wears his clothes now,
His shirt drapes down her shoulders.
Says she'll never change.
My attempt at a haiku

I miss

My
Family
Of
Friends

And my
Free time.

I don't know what to say anymore.
She's gone.
Just now
Out of my reach.
That feeling of falling
Is all too real.

Now hitting me that
She's leaving.
Now hitting me she'll
Be gone.
Now killing me
Because
She already
Is.

She's been gone some time now.
And what can I do?
Why didn't I think this all through?
I couldn't keep her trapped up,
Held back,
Locked in forever.
I couldn't keep her all
To myself.

But now she's gone.
So what's it really matter.
I lost my chance,
I left my chance,
She took my chance,
She's gone.

And he wouldn't care
If she stopped working so hard
Stopped spending those hours
Primping
Prepping
Practicing
To gain his attention.
To catch that single moment
To pray she stays on his mind.
And he wouldn't care
What she does,
She's all beauty to him
In the little things.

Oh baby
You are beautiful
Baby
Baby
So, so beautiful
Don't you worry
Baby
Baby
Don't you worry
How you look.

And it's all looking like home again.
Those broken pieces found their place
In line again
In time again
They found their way.
Through it all the things fighting against them
Playing on their sadness
They brought it back from nothing.
They remembered who they were
And who they could be.
Now they're falling down together
Now they're falling down forever
Now they're falling back in love
And it's all looking like home
Again.

You want me to write for you
But what can I say?
There are no words I can put onto paper
That will not open your eyes
To the things that I have kept hidden
For so long.
