Irreparable – A Quadrille

Maintaining composure
You cannot see
what is really going on
inside of me
 
You see ambivalence
no care to give
I’m a broken vessel
from the life I live
 
The dark side called
Unable to fix
This soulless specimen
got lost in the mix

         I really like the challenge of Haiku, to write something meaningful in a minimum amount of syllables. I enjoy the challenge of it. Other times I can ramble on and on! 🤣
