Sadness, Loneliness, Pain - Haiku Poems

My heart is screaming
My mind is celebrating.
This divided self.
The power is out.
I push, my body resists.
I can go no further.
Morning or mourning
The day that dawns brings new grief.
First light, then shadow.
Must break the silence
This empty space inside is
Louder than a scream

Dear haiku poet
here is a comment: I love your haiku. I am a Canadian poet, who has briefly experimented with haiku - it's hard to write! your mind/heart split one is my favourite - maybe I'll post a haiku too, and we can compare. in the meantime, I have one poem, bug soup, up on my site.
keep writing! people will find you.
