Heartbreak Looks Like You

Four Haiku

By Poppy Published 2 years ago 1 min read

The Last Month of You

Summer smiles exchanged

Swimming in happiness like

It's the sea (it's not)

The Month That Took You Away

Autumn leaves falling

You bury me with their rot

Breathless - I let you

The Month Where I Waited for You

Winter winds choke me

Speechless, hopeless, abandoned

Heartbreak looks like you

The Month When You Didn't Come Back

Spring flowers blooming

But you don't return with them

Where the hell are you?

❀❀❀❀❀

P.S. If you enjoyed this, you may like this poem which is basically an extended, non haiku, version of it. (Just don't look too closely at the months because they don't line up with this one haha.)

    Beautiful lines!

  • Been there..., ...on both sides of the equation..., ...with the same person..., ...& my heart will never be the same.
