Haikus by Leto Delian
I
Such an idiot
A label for both of us
But mostly for
You me
II
Too complicated
Smile prettier and nod
Hide your life and nod
III
New year with same tears
Time ticks and pain grows louder
Old wounds are still fresh
IV
Sparkling gold fleck
Desired for a moment
And then forgotten
V
Home in someone’s arms
But one head hits a pillow
The want to be loved
VI
Recipe for Revenge
One cup bitterness, hurt ego,
One cup ambition
VII
Love is a cruel fraud
Eager to pinch your cheeks flush
And leave you alone
VIII
Confusion sets in
It was going so well, right?
Where’s the happiness?
IX
Hope giveth cruelly
Fostering love fantasies
And taking away
X
Too much grief to love
The trauma needs me alone
Fated life sentence
