Split me like a pulled, stray nerve
I tell you to run.

How does it work?
Wow I like a good haiku that leaves you with a chill
A raw and emotional reflection on loss, pain, and the urgency to escape.

Gosh that was so hard hitting! So intense!
That second line? Says so much with so few words.
Awesome Haiku
