This is a fine poem for the 3-line poem contest
with an excellent third line and nice touch of alliteration.
Adieu is such a soft sounding word, but not in this context;
Parting is difficult, before, during and after.
Excellent art work to match your words.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.
RS

Losing someone through any kind of good bye is just hard. It's a new adjustment without them. It's learning a new routine and trying to get on without that person that meant a lot to you. I think we can all relate to this.

In my opinion, an expressive reference of heartbreak, written to define a singularly personal view of the effect - well constructed, in perfect compliance with the prompt...

Nicely said. Sensual and giving, as well sad.
Sometimes a taste of reality can be beautifully sad.
My best wishes.
Have a nice day.

You need to avoid opening and ending lines awkwardly with 'is' and 'a'. that second line seems cut off from the rest of the poem. A verb to start gives it some movement, something like zigzag or something like that. I liked the last line. The alliterations worked nicely, and the focus on loneliness is strong. Rework the second line, with an ear to the music of the language, and it will be a much better poem estory

Life can change so much when the one we love leaves us. Our loneliness makes us see everything in a different light. All seems much sadder.
You express these feelings perfectly in your poem.
Good luck in the contest.

A great choice of art work to show off your poetic and artistic skills to emulate the message of a lover's goodbye through a lens of loneliness.
Well done and good luck
