By reading these haikus alone one might not denote them to mean goodbye. I don’t know if haikus can work this way but together they mean something new. The unconventional set up of these poems to me represents how goodbyes are not experienced the same way and how the feeling of it can be diverse depending on the person and the relationship. Together however they all end up meaning the same thing - loss.
A splash of colour
You paint my grey life with light
Canvas stained for life
A deep scratch that scars
My flesh now under your nails
Things we’ll keep for life
Alive to them now
But for a fleeting moment
Then dead to their world
