within each one lies
a flaw buried deep beneath our hearts
do not head it's call
though strange sometimes is the pull
into the darkness that waits
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

There's a lot of truth in this.
One thing: did you mean 'heed' instead of 'head'?
no matter how sad the content, it's truly beautifully
Lovely and haunting
Powerful take on the prompt!
yes.. a flaw is there, and more often than not, that pull is deadly. powerful tanka!
