saying goodbye: a collection of haikus

By Quakespears

Diego:

Real men don’t cry well

I guess I won’t be a man

After these goodbyes

Marina:

The trees seem heavy

Weighed down with unsaid goodbyes

Miss you already

Owen:

Adieus fester—rot

A cancer brimming; seeping,

Out of lips trembling

Matt:

Comfort, security

Familiar endless days

Only months remain

Keira:

Try to drown it out

The goodbyes are too close now

I guess farewell town

Averi:

I don’t want to say

Any more goodbyes to you

They hurt far too much

Carter: 

I’ll Cya Later

My senior Alligators

Be spry guys goodbye
