Broken Heart Syndrome
by Vashti Quiroz-Vega

Wolf Dressed as a man
Devoured her dainty heart
Hollow flesh remains

Have a fun and safe weekend! ♥
I like the double feel about it–at first I read it as a horror story and then saw the title and read it as a romantic tragedy. I like the words you chose too.

I can see how you could have read the haiku as horror. I guess some love stories do end horrible. 😉 By the way, This is not my story. At the moment my heart is happy and healthy––not broken. 😀 xx

I felt like ‘wow’ at first for the way emotions are captured and then felt ‘eww’ for the one who is expressing this.
Very nicely done! Awesome! 🙂
