Giving You Space You once were my world I see you only in dreams No longer my star ** I don't write #haikus often. But this one happened on accident, and I liked it.

You Don't Miss Me. It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm up, awake again Missing you and wishing that what we had didn't end. You're probably sleeping soundly, trying to forget me for tonight But I can't sleep, I miss you, don't want this to turn into a fight. I know that you're sorry, you've told me what you need to tell But I'm sick to my stomach thinking of you with someone else. I know you're already out there, looking for new attention I know I won't come up in conversation, and not to mention You say that you "love" me but that's not how it feels How can you be back in the game if what we had was "real"?

Mundane. I did a mundane thing today A trip to the laundromat, "so simple you say" But you see I made a big mistake I forgot detergent, now a decision to make Run back to the house to grab the soap on the shelf? Or spend 75 cents on some Tide for myself I'll just buy it here, I thought, "that's easy" But now the smell of the soap has me queasy This is his smell, now it's stuck in my shirt I can't even do laundry without feeling hurt They say "this will pass" so I'm passing the time They say "keep on going" so I'm trying to climb I look down at my shoes but they're covered in salt Seems like in the winter, #life comes to a halt Mercury's in retrograde, the days are freezing cold The universe handed me these cards, but now I'd like to fold I'm say I'm done playing this game in my head but you know you'll always have me hanging by a thread

I miss you but I can't tell you that because I don't want you to be sad

Coffee It's the little things. The smell of my coffee just brings me back to warm, cozy mornings with you. Even this coffee can make me sad.
