poetry corner

when people are in relationships sometimes they want to say beautiful things to each other so they have love poetry to fill in the gaps when someone else said it better than they ever could. What about when a relationship is over. This is where breakup poetry fills in the gaps. Breakups are so mysterious and confused it's poetry that can really fill in the gaps here when people are dancing around the truth or when they feel so repressed that they want to explode on the other person in a torrent of frustration. In that spirit I wanted to try to write a few haiku's to start things off.

you've been nice knowing
I think we are growing apart
it's not you it's me

I like that last line because it's a cliche in 5 syllables.

I've been really board
I kind of dig your sister
do you hate me now

You haven't been around
I've been seeing someone new
and is that so wrong

you just walked by me
when I saw you on the street
we have grown apart

you are so emo
I am a little punk rock
we were wrong together

move your lazy ass
why don't you get a real job
I am leaving you

I liked you better
when you were in high school plays
not now bumming rent

can you count to three
these were the few moments when
we were not fighting

I think you're hot
but you played with the matches
and now I'm homeless

you made me sell out
my hair will grow back but the
tattoos are for keeps

there is much to say
i don't think you will understand
just get sober soon

i just want back in your head
