I tried not to hear
Those whispers right behind me
They stole my kindness


And they left something
Rather dark and dreary for
Now you sleep with one


Eye open at night
I have satisfaction of
Your look of terror

@Patrick82432 Thank you so much Patrick, that means a lot to me to hear that! You should definitely write a haiku or two, I am sure they would be great. Your support means a lot to me, and you really made my day. I hope you have a fantastic one yourself! -Katie :)

I've taken a look at some of your Haikus and I just love them! Keep up the good work. You've made me want to try writing a Haiku or two now.
