Haikus for Kurapika

Summary:

A while back I was working on a Kurapika story. Instead, I kept writing haikus. Then someone told me they weren't half bad, so I figured I might as well post them.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

It mirrors me back,
that forever-changing red,
raging grief I feel.

 

When the dark yet lives,
And beauty still perishes,
We never forgive.

 

If I should return,
it would be a lie to say,
“Everything was fun.”

 

A world far alone,
as a life without you all,
once more carries on.

 

Would it be pointless,
to ask why a world allowed,
such injustice, run free?

 

May frightened eyes watch,
as I do seize your heart’s thief,
and grieve your swift plight.

 

Be certain of this,
in a place you never knew,
remembrance exists.

Notes:

Thanks for reading. If I get more, I'll update this, but for now this is it. Feedback is welcome, although it's merely a few poems so there wouldn't be much to comment on anyway. Here's one more:

I ought to write out,
thoughts dwelling, yet here I am,
composing haikus.
