I'm falling asleep
To car rides and lullabies
But you're still missing
Literature
disproportional, disadvantaged
there's a 100% chance that
i love you,
a 100% chance that
you love me,
but a 0.00% chance of
Us ever working out.
Literature
what did you do with my heart?
did you:
throw away my love letter
after reading it? rip it up?
light it on fire? even read
it at all? wear it to school?
wear it on someone elses
sleeve? my sleeve? study
my graphology? forget my
name, again?
excuse my handwriting
for being overly poetic.
did you:
feel shocked? feel confused? feel upset?
indifferent? curious? sad, mad, bad, glad?
feel my heart breaking? feel my emotion?
feel my cathartic release? feel my courage
in confessing? feel the pain in each cliche?
feel vicarious sorrow? feel anything at all?
no, no, no. of cours
Literature
flickering.
there are days
i want my skin to melt
like wax so i can watch my
heart dream, dilate, digest
i am a sleepwalker,
a toy soldier aimed
at the horizon, and you
are watching me fall
off the edge
of the world in a rush
of fire and gasoline
smoke and love
i am standing on the sun
in pink stilettos
and i'm nothing more than
a wax figurine
burning out
Suggested Collections
I am lulled to sleep
By potholes and flashing lights
Oh where've you gone?
Inspired by the smell of a new car, rainy windshields, and the old John Mayer.

This haiku is simply adorable. I feel like this concept could actually be unraveled into a longer delicate poem.
The soft nostalgic feeling the reader gets from the middle line is perfect and uplifting which then takes it's dramatic shift into the final line when no one is there. It's like a crash, or more appropriately a wake-up. The poem seems to capture 'dreaming to reality' quite simply.
I love the haiku, but I still think you should toy around with the idea of a longer version. <3
