Want you to know

I want you to know

That you were the one

I spent my every breath on

Till I wasted a lifetime 

I want you to know

That you were the one

Who made me happiest

Till the time you hurt me most

I want you to know

That you were the one

I wanted to keep close forever

Till I had to push you away

I want you to know

That you were the one

I felt home and safe with

Till you abandoned me

I want you to know

That you were the one

I found in my every thought

Till I remember to lose you

I want you to know

That you were the one

I thought to love forever 

Till you taught how brief forever is

I want you to know

That you were the one

I loved beyond reason and doubt

Till you gave me reason not to

 
I want you to know

That you were the one

I wanted to hold when I die

Till you died within me

Haiku# abortion

Red drips from my womb

A life unlived mourned forever

Clouds a mother’s soul 

 

Tanka# walk under cloud

Walking under cloud

Without wearing your raincoat, I

Search for my rainbow

Can you bring the sunshine back

Pretend to fight the darkness
