Second (and longer) try, hopefully I didn't mess up the syllables.

Terrified, he cries when
hallucinations turn too
real to play pretend.

House refuses to
lock him away; meds help less
than someone caring.

The double haiku packs a lot of punch and is absolutely haunting. *wrings hands* I want to hug both guys.

*Clutches chest* This packs quite a painful punch, in the very best possible way. Loved it!

That was so heartwarming, even though schizophrenia is a harsh disease, but at list there's someone caring. Thank you for ignoring 7x23 and giving us this gem.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it :) I'm all for ignoring large chunks of season 7 to be honest.
