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
[簡単な
はずさ何手こ
ずってんだ
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
