A different perspective: Undesirable (October 27, 2014)
The cold air blows past his face
His grown hair fluttering, dancing
His eyes are closed
His mind deep in thought
By the balcony, outside he stands
He is shielded away from the quiet
The music, blaring the beat
Pacing the rhythm, stirring emotions
He opens an app on his phone
A profile, last online 12 mins ago
Cute, good looking, he messages
Hoping for a reply, maybe
An ember glows as he inhales
Exhales, then a stream of smoke
He flicks the cigarette
Ash like snow, light and flitting
He feels the buzz of his phone
Opens the app from earlier
Nothing. Phantom vibrations
The person he messaged - Online
Several sent messages, no response
Ignored, overlooked, insecure
A gnawing desperation
Undesirable
