Another Walk
This was the same walk that she took every night
but tonight was sensable
the smoke stormed into her lungs
and with an exhale, it fled from her breath.
She could feel the sensation ruling over her mind
so she looked up into the night air
expecting to see some savior to rescue her from her solitude
but instead she was presented with the stars
The same stars that hung over her head every night
the same stars that she used to gaze at as a kid with wonder
but now, she gazes with jealous, tearing eyes
as if they did something to her
Because she was left on the surface
while they displayed their beauty to the earth
Only if she had a beauty to show,
she wouldn’t gaze with so much Envy
So she dragged more smoke into her desperate lungs
and kept on walking, down the same path she’s always taken
because tonight was just another night.
Another wistful walk
