Between two lovers after he ships off on deployment with the Navy
written in Haiku form
Her
Look when you left I
Was bereft, but it wasn’t
As bad as it’s now
Him
But we knew I was
Going and our love we’d be
Growing til I’m back
Her
When you left I lost
My job, fell down, got robbed blind
And it’s worse this time!
Him
I keep telling you
To hang in there, you will be
Okay, love I swear
Her
But what if I’m not?
What if despair in life’s all
I got? I can’t deal.
Him
Think positive, love.
For when this world gives us grief
We hold on to hope
Her
There’s no hope, just grief
Nothing will persuade me to
That belief, I’m done!
Him
Dont you dare give up!
I know in my heart that you’re
Tough and strong, no bluff!
Her
I’m done with my life
This is the end, the devil
Is my only friend
Him
That’s depressing! Shit!
You always have me, I won’t
Allow you to quit!
Her
What? You aren’t here to
Stop me, so why can’t you just
Let this be! Quit me!
Him
Do you not recall
What you promised me before
I left you alone?
You told me that we
Were together and that bond
Will not be broken
Her
Yes it will because
I am done with this life I’m
Leading! Done! Finished!
Him
You are not allowed!
Any decision we make,
We make together!
If this is what you
Truly want, then keep in mind
Til I come back home!
Promise me, Honey!
That you won’t do anything
Rash! Promise me now!
Her
Alright, I promise
Can we please just talk about
Something else? I’ll stop
That was the end of
That conversation but the
Next day she was gone
Then he truly learned
What it felt, what it was to
be bereft. The end.
Listen to me read this in my best attempt to change my voice! haha
