A Handsome Haunting

by Aegis   May 8, 2019


Bankrupt eyes are
fixated heavenward
as I dissociate to the unmistakable
sound of crackling tobacco
and
forlorn sighs.

And as the streetlight illuminates
my spent breaths
I almost wish I could
see you-

dismal and drifting away.

    I'm sorry I missed this. I know how disheartening it can be to pour your heart out, like you've done here and receive no comments. I tend to leave a comment and generally find others return the favour. If you ever want a comment, you can always contact me.

    You begin this with 'bankrupt eyes' this possibly speaks of eyes that have seen more than they should. They yearn to see what they no longer can,
    perhaps? I like the smoking reference, much like a trailing thought as the smoke drifts away with any chance of happiness.

    Nice write and take care.

    Again I am left speechless... You're words truly move me always, no matter what they're about

      Thank you Em, as always. I was getting pretty bummed that I didn't have any comments on this week's pieces. You always come in clutch with the kind words tho:)
