The stock's up and downs,

Mimics my lawless heartbeat

When you're next to me.

The heart is such an ungoverned thing.

It's terrible how much I can relate to this ;-; The deeper meaning here is certainly evident. It's a truly wonderful haiku. P.S. Binge-reading your work. Please don't be mad at me.

Thank you so much and thank you for the advice before! I'm going to try writing some longer poetry with your tips :)

This is so beautiful. The stock market comparison really blew me away - I've seen a lot of repeated metaphors on this site, but this is an idea I have never read anywhere else. It was a brilliant comparison, and it worked so well. You really have a knack for packing your haikus full of meaning. Well done! :)
