Haiku for Adulthood: Melancholia
If this is your first time here, you should probably go read some funny haiku about lesbian scissoring. These are going to be really emo.
#197
I’m so lost without
you. My heart’s percussion sits
in snare-like silence.
________
#198
The bed, the books, the
rituals used to be ours –
Are now just hours.
________
#199-#200
First night in our house
I blissfully bruised my hips
on the hardwood floor.
-
You were so excited.
“Who needs a bed?” You said.
“I have this. And you.”
________
#201
Everyone you
love will leave. Time forgives,
but never concedes.
________
#202
How many times can
I cry over a crisis
of geography?
________
#203
I tried to write it
down, but the better story
lives in your nearness.
________
#204
There’s no stillness in
my heart. I will always love
you relentlessly.

I hate that I love the emo ones so immediately. How emo is that?

It’s the sort of day that 199-204 push me close to tears. But any other day I will still find them beautifully poignant. I appreciate your gifts. mlmoore57 from Twitter.

I don’t think I’ve figured out how to love any other way than relentlessly.
And that has made life very difficult and painful at times.
Indeed.
