My heart is shattered,
Thousands of pieces implode.
Forever fractured.

A haiku for divorce; the inability to live without a parent, a parent who has gone forever.

This is really good! I liked, which is pretty amazing since I don't like hakius.

Thank you so much! I know it's very short so I was a bit nervous it may seem lazy but I just love how sweet and poignant it is. I'd be glad to read your haiku!

A love haikus, they manage to have a deep message in just a couple of lines. This is exactly what you did in this poem. I love it :D
