Observations

§l "Observations"§r A collection of haikus by §4Pyr0§3Byt3§r.

Wake, to simply sleep With night, squandering night with Sleep, simply to wake. (This one's also a word-unit palindrome)

The lone wolf wanders, Long abandoned by his pack. He cries to the moon.

I watch the kitten. Those small feline eyes look back. I'm conquered, I melt.

Typing in the dark; The screen illuminates me, As I sit alone.

The wandering stars, Whom hold blackness and darkness Forever reserved.

Sometimes I see you. In my dreams, you seem so glad, 'Till you fade with dawn.

If one could fall out As easily as one fell in, "Love" would hurt no one.

He stares at the moon, Hoping that somewhere out there, She stares at it too.

The streetlights blur by, Leaving fluorescent islands On the road behind.

Drops fall, one... two... three... The windshield becomes opaque, Beneath water's veil.

We suffer trying To prolong our empty lives, Just to suffer more.

Out of the dark: "Click!" As he turns the lock's tumbler, The thief wears a grin.

My feet leave the ledge, And reserved for the pavement: My concluding kiss.

So many pennies Lie lonely on the sidewalk, Worth nobody's time.

That big red button, The amount of lives that rest Under cheap plastic.

He liked her; she, him. But they'd prefer loneliness Over rejection.

The sheer jittering From my beloved caffeine Lets me drink no more.

He's not desperate... Just in a relationship With her phone's voicemail.

Her bites are love notes, Expressed not through scant paper, But through flesh itself.

I fear the mirror. Who's to say the other side Really corresponds?

That piece of metal Suffocates his ring finger As it does his life.

"Sharing is caring", But it's pronounced "piracy" On the Internet.

I stare at the page. It stares back, expressionless; Empty, like my mind.

Close, never touching. It is but an asymptote, Their relationship.

How grim it must be, Knowing with a scalpel's slip, Slips the patient's life.

The one thing I hate More than a tedious task Is repeating it.

Those tetrominoes, Possessing me whilst in wake, Haunting me in sleep.

"Terms & Conditions": No Idea what it means, But I still agree.

When I've forgotten, There's just hopelessness in ink Smeared across my palm.

Whilst inflicting pain, No blade's edge can be sharper Than that of paper.

Why do lies cause shock? The word "lie" would not exist If all said were true.
