She sang songs for you
I saw them in brilliant blue
And you saw them too
I heard her sweet words
And I think she likes you true;
My sad heart fell through
My mind wonders now
If all this time it was her
You actually saw
Misled heart of mine,
Seeing things that never were
But now I have learnt
Jealousies will come
And I wonder if itβs time
For me to take flight
I will leave you now
And let you to discover
All the love she has
I wait in silence
For my own true love to come
And draw me to him
These series of Haikus weren’t written to flow on from each other. Instead, each reflects a stage of emotions/revelations the protagonist goes through. I hope you enjoy.
Treat. Being a second choice to one who is your only choice ain’t easy. impressed

Simple line but brilliant: “She sang songs for you; I saw them in brilliant blue”. That’s a great opening stanza. You definitely created a good “flow” here, which is even more impressive with the form. Enjoyed reading this. I’ll have another read through to let it all sink in.
