Betrayal


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.

  2. Mm 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?

  7. I loved the set of haiku..first one in which you have talked about eyes betraying heart, and the second one about breaking trust mirrior, painful yet profound, loved the analogy.

    1. Thanks Shilpa, the feeling of having trusted and loved and cared for someone and then having all of it thrown out in pieces really hurts...
