What is happening?
Now I am really confused.
What can I do now?
I failed to notice you slipping,
Not knowing you were falling.
I would have helped but I was tripping,
And now I am crawling.
You raised me to be strong,
And you tried to teach me compassion.
Now I feel wrong,
And empty of all passion.
I hate to see you this way,
And wish I could change it,
But this is how you will stay
And all I can do is accept it.
You were my rock,
But that has changed.
All we do now is watch the clock,
And that feels strange.
I miss my mother.
Do you miss your son?
You are better than every other,
And our journey isn't done.
I still love my mom
And I will until I die
I hate this disease

Accident
Hands moving quickly, My finger pokes my right eye. Now I feel stupid. This is a true story, unfortunately. I don't quite remember what grade it was 7th or 8th. I was presenting a project about Greek mythology and in my nervous stammer I made the mistake. I poked it hard, too. It wasn't a light poke, oh no! My eye not only watered for several minutes but it was sore for 2 whole days. Thanks for reading. If you enjoyed this haiku, please check out my profile for more. If you like horror then I got you there, too. Any interactions are appreciated.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
