Should She Know We Hurt? Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku Lament

Is it selfish to/
tell her how much we hurt? Or/
is it honesty?

Be An Example: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

I’m afraid her death/
will encourage others to/
follow her dark path.

At some point a few/
dads learn that fatherly love/
just isn’t enough.

Of course dying hurts./
The hearts of those who love you/
*are ripping apart.
OR
*are in agony.

So many times I/
stood in the coach’s box and/
waved you home. Now, stop!

I wear purple ‘cuz/
I’m pissed and helpless and there’s/
nothing I can do.
OR
I wear purple ‘cuz/
I’m pissed, helpless and can’t pay/
for her burial.

She promised me that/
we would attend the Temple/
again. Did she lie?

Does every father/
wonder if he’ll ever see/
his daughter again?

I wear purple for/
my daughter because I have/
fashionista friends.

What if the reason/
I want to meet her is not/
because of her face?
