Haiku

I have been trying

To write a haiku for you

Some things I just can't do

Maybe you're beyond

Ancient Asian poetry

Or maybe it's just me

I have been trying to get this haiku

Just right, all night, for you, alright, I'm through

Maybe this poem

Was lost in the sauce we spilled

That never got refilled

I've never thought much

Of formulaic verse anyway

And rhymes are not my fort

I have been trying to get this haiku

Just right, all night, for you, alright, I'm through

I'm trying not to try too hard

But you're hard to write down right

So I pen these tried attempts

At haikus for you tonight

Wait, I actually did it

I wrote a haiku for you!

I finally found a break, holy shit, it's possible

I finally made it through

Been trying not to try my heart

I've minded my own mind

So just this once, just one attempt

I'll write you down just right

♪

Kind, sweet and charming

Voluptuously endowed

Hair a darkened brown

But then suddenly

A sharp, piercing pain resounds

Vision starts to cloud

I wanted to see

The hand in which it was held

Before the knife fell

I thought you'd stabbed me

I swore that I smelled your smell

But I stabbed myself

I finally did it

Yet, it hasn't helped at all (for you)

I still feel so small

I know it's too late

I know you won't hear my call

And so now I fall

I had been trying to write a haiku

For so long, but now, this song, is finally through

It was all for you
