Permanent

A permanent pen
Draws a fine line between my
Daydreams and your thoughts

I wonder idly
If you think me bizzare, too
Am I me? Am I?

Cold and hot and sad
Do I exist? Are you alive?
Perhaps it is fine.

What we have done in
The past is in the past and so
Walk with me again.

Interesting, almost a digression. Hard to tell if the setting is post betrayal or post life. Far too intense for a cakewalk. Either way it reads well. It is almost in haiku format. That restriction seems to deepen the creativity. As a teen-ager you show remarkable clarity. Good work.

Thank you! It was supposed to be a haiku and, probably, both post-life and post-betrayal.

Was wondering. When I write a haiku, i try to follow the 5-7-5 format, although there are other options. You chose to vary the mid-line length in successive stanzas? Is there a no rule about identical lengths?
