FRAGMENTS OF A SHATTERED SOUL.
In the small, wind-swept town of Eldridge, there lived a man named Gabriel Ashcroft. Gabriel was a relic of a bygone era, his life marked by tragedy and loss that had carved deep lines into his weathered face. Eldridge was a place where time seemed to stand still, its cobblestone streets and ivy-clad cottages remnants of a past that refused to fade. Yet, even in this quaint setting, Gabriel’s presence was a shadow, a constant reminder of a heart forever fractured.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

Oof, the bittersweet cycle. Nicely done, D.J.💗
I always harm them for my sake hehehehehe. Loved your Haiku!
I don't always like mine.
Weird masochists the lot of us!
Apologies to one and all for the misleading subtitle, which cannot be modified by a quick edit. I have written too many sonnets.
Unhappy to say that's me 😭😂 Loved your haiku! 💖
