Haiku Friday

Friendly smile, kind words
Show when we are face to face--

Knife goes in the back.

Horns Of A Dilemma

No matter what you choose

Everything stands to be lost

Tis a puzzlement.

Haiku Friday--Letting Go

*Haiku Friday is hosted by LouCeel

It's finally time

To accept that it's over--

Time to say goodbye.

Haiku Friday--Memories

Memories of us

Turn the happiest of days

Into times of tears.

Say What You Mean

What he said:
I love you
I'm in it for the long haul
I'm willing to wait for you, as long as it takes
I'd give up everything to be with you
Forever and beyond

What he meant:
I want you
I'm in it for as long as it's convenient for me
I'm willing to wait until I decide not to wait any more
I'll give you up to keep everything I have
Till the going gets tough.

Even though her head knew exactly what he meant,

Her heart chose to hear only what he said,

Trusting once again in the WORDS,

And now her badly broken heart

Will never be able to love anyone but him.

Two Years

Two years since we agreed to be honest

Two years since we spoke what was on our minds

Two years since you first gave me butterflies

Two years since we promised to be "in it for the long haul"

Two years since you put a smile on my face I thought I'd wear forever

And one year of having nothing but memories of us.
