-haiku for all the indifferent applause I get from people who want nothing to do with me
Cut the cord with blank
Words that are a misfired gun
pretend to miss me

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

Oh my, that is sad. I hope you're okay. 🤗
Let it be so. Where are you going?
This makes me think of all the shows I played as a musician where no one showed up but the other bands. Ha! I hope you know I have genuinely been cheering you on here! This is a cool haiku! A take-a-haiku?
Oof, that hit me so hard! But yes, I'd rather those fake people cut us off than pretending to us. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
This has layers to it. Well done!
