Take Me With You
I've been here, my love. Watching, waiting. I've wanted to come to you, but I can't seem to break free of these wrought iron bars. You must have looked upon my face at least a hundred times these last few months, yet your face never once lit up for me. Not the way I know mine does for you. It's like you didn't recognize me anymore.

Unfortunately this is the world we live in now. Loved it.
Unless polluted! That was poweful and also the bitter truth!
Very well done - and an important thing to think about. Great haiku, Paul! ❤️❤️
This is great! Enjoyed this immensely!
So true. Very well done.
Great title and words and loved the image
Just like Kelli, I loved the title and it sucked me in! I loved what you did with this and the last line punch was really well done. Great work!
Love this. The title, 😘
