JAD (haiku)

With writing comes fear
Memories unlock nighmares
of murderous words

K

Now maybe if I lived a little more in the moment

I'd feel a bit better about leaving you behind

I'm standing on the pier, watching you and waving goodbye

I love the way your soft green eyes drown in the memories we missed

and the treasure we have yet to find

There are too many nights that passed us by, lamenting all the wasted time

The promises we made, they crack and they tear, still hanging heavy in the air

Remember that I still love you and I'll always be here

If you'll come back, please give a sign, we'll make those memories

and find the treasure we left far behind
