Lost in Retrospect

An Eclipse Acrostic

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

E nshrouded by mist

C aptured, locked away

L ingering in painful memory

I mprisoned by a pale shadow

P assing each night, each day ... alone

S ilently withdrawing from reality

E ncapsulated heart withering

Acrostic
