Star-crossed lovers meet ;
eyes betray secrets of heart -
broken dreams, lost love.
*********************************
Blank eyes, bleeding heart
hurt picking up shattered shards -
broken trust mirror.

penetrating and heart-wrenching haiku
ReplyDeletethe very word betrayal wrenches the heart...
DeleteMm I like these, they are clever and can be read at different levels. Was her bleeding heart hurt by caring too much for others who were not worthy of her love I wonder?
ReplyDeleteYou wonder correct...Often the heart hurts when it feels undervalued...
