The stock's up and downs,

Mimics my lawless heartbeat

When you're next to me.

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.

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! :)
