Yuji Baba Poems

Blonde hair in pigtails
On the lawn doing cartwheels
Candyfloss and angel wings
She sits forlornly on the swings
...

This smiley little skeleton
Doesn’t eat to fill her day
She sits and waits at home, alone
Beaming as she wastes away
...

When I look at you
Hidden loneliness in your eyes
Smudges of paint littering your hands
I begin to realise why I’m in love
...

I think I killed myself today
Looking in the mirror
Feeling like I wanna get gun happy
Here we go again
...

Drowning in the melancholy of youth
I look up and I feel I can touch the sky
Watching the sun melt into the bleeding horizon
There is no one left but me and the moon
...

I dreamt of the fall of the stars
One night on a bed of broken glass
The world will continue to dream
While I lie here motionless, empty
...
