3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 236.”
relationship
SOL: Prudent
I locked you up tight,
bittersweet memories I’ll
never revisit.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 235.”
SOL: L’envie
My teeth are clenched and my mind’s limits are
Being pushed into the ether – I wonder,
Does she know what it’s like to need her?
She draws me in like a tidal wave
Her smile reflects like a car crash with
The windshield smashed – somehow, she’s
Still got the last laugh
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Poor Fool.”
MIND: Resistance
Wasn’t it better if they kept this desire to see each other hidden within them, and never actually got together? That way, there would always be hope in their hearts. That hope would be a small, yet vital flame that warmed them to their core – a tiny flame to cup one’s hands around and protect from the wind, a flame that the violent winds of reality might easily extinguish.
1Q84 // Haruki Murakami
SOL: Aventura
In the time since you left my
Hair has grown longer and lighter than
It ever did when it was wrapped in your hands
I’ve been kissed by faceless lovers against medieval walls, under
Stained glass windows, doused with prosecco from greedy mouths
Laid myself bare in the Mediterranean sun
The adventures you once swore we would take
I took, I didn’t wait, I scrubbed the tattoo
We got from my skin and covered it with another
Expunged the wicked taste your tongue left behind and
Found solace in the knowledge that even
After all this time, it’s my laughter dancing
Endlessly through your mind
3AM Thoughts // AKA “I Passed On Patience When They Were Handing Out Virtues.”
SOL: Ennui
I want everything
and all at once, I never
learned moderation.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 230.”
SOL: Cutting Ties
I moved away from
all that no longer served me
well (and that was you).
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 229.”
SOL: Apathetic
i want your longing
to eat you alive, it’s the
punishment you’ve earned.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 228.”
SOL: Impact
His life is brighter
where I touched it, everything
rests within his soul.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 227.”
SOL: Heathen
How do you love a
wild thing? With which words can you
pierce its savage heart?
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 226.“
