I Am A Writer
I am a deadly murderer
I am a crazy psychopath
I am a gentle ruler
I am a war-driven tyrant
I am a secretive assassin
I am a jealous lover
I am a tortured soul
I am a ruthless god
I am manipulative
I am all-mighty
I am powerful
I am omnipotent
I am murderous
I am loving
I make sweet dreams
I make terrifying nightmares
I make tender moments
I make anguished deaths
I am the one
I am their god
I am a writer.

I watched you die
I watched you die
it was strange
how easily you left me
and left me broken
inside
I saw you gasp
and I saw draw a shaky breath
that you never knew
would be your last
I felt you tremble
in my arms
I clasped you tightly
as you lost your final gamble
and then
I knew you had gone
to a place where I couldn't touch you
when I had been trying to reach you
for so long

I DON'T BECAUSE...
I don't start conversations
because I feel like I'm being annoying.
I feel like I'm being clingy and desperate
and that no one will care,
but rather look for an escape route.
I don't walk up to people
because I feel like I'm being intrusive.
I wasn't invited, so what right do I have to approach them
and try to mingle?
I don't say much
because I don't feel right
burdening other people with my thoughts
or my problems.
They're mine; I should suffer them alone.
I don't ask for anything
because I feel like I'm being needy.
Others shouldn't have to provide for me,
even when I cannot provide for myself.
I should be able to take car

I wonder, is this how writers die?

I love it. And I normally hate haiku and related forms, so that's saying much.
