The scars of the past are the thread that ties them together.

These haikus are not at all connected to those of Zelgadis55 and Diva Urd. I have had plenty haikus for ages (I went through a haiku-writing phase) but never considered posting them anywhere. I mean, they're haikus. Three lines. Anyway, I posted them because, when I saw the haikus of Zell and Diva, I figured, if someone else is posting them, I may as well too...

An eternal smile
Clearly false yet comforting
Hides a haunting past

Eyes and hair of blood
Her taboo child she beats, yet
The blame is her own

Five hundred years gone
An 'eternal' punishment
Yet he knows not why
--- - ---
Abandoned, alone
He builds his walls high, pretends
The three cannot climb
