Departing soon from Procrastination Station
"Choo choo," I cry
My duties boarded
a late train bound nowhere, that
burns hours like hot coal.

A Tale of Bittersweet Love
Few events are as moving and eerie in the world of human feeling as the reverberation of an unfulfilled love. That is the core of the melancholy love story—hearts colliding in a rush of desire only to fall apart at the hands of fate's harsh hand. Here, among the broken dreams and unmet promises, is a story that endures the test of time: one of love that is found, treasured, and lost.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

Loved the title, and the content is vivid and very very relatable. lol
Departing soon... and never reaching its destination. Related all too much to this haiku, looking forward to more!
Great imagery here, well done!
Great use of train as a metaphor for time and procrastinating as bound for nowhere! That was cool!
I've boarded the same train, lol! Really loved the 'hot coal' in the last line :) Wonderful!
I felt this. Resonate with this so much. Well done!
I like the environmental element you wove in here. Lots of meaning entwined in those syllables.
