unkind zodiac haikus pt. ii

shanastoryteller:

what could they have done
to deserve your pin sharp hate
you did love them once
– aries

you refused to bend
an oak against howling wind
now you are splinters
– taurus

fear of loneliness
bubbles beneath your rib cage
you can’t tear it out
– gemini

grudges weigh you down
swarm your lungs, drip from your lips
this is how you drown
– cancer

everyone near you
gets crushed beneath your ego
that’s why you’re alone
– leo

they wont remember
your sacrifices my dear
so do not make them
– virgo

it doesn’t matter
what you have because it will
never be enough
– libra

the walls around you,
built from your fear, are so high
no one will find you
– scorpio

people don’t bounce back
as easily as you do
please stop hurting them
– sagittarius

if ambition were
poison you’d drink and spend your
last breath on a laugh
– capricorn

their praise means nothing
you are someone who demands 
blood for your vengeance
– aquarius

if tears could save you
you wouldn’t be where you are
so try something new
– pisces
