Weight Loss

Acquaintances made remarks about his weight loss.
At first, they were complimentary.
They even asked the secret to his diet.
But the queries and compliments stopped
When the weight loss didn’t.
When pounds kept shedding. And shedding.
When his cheeks hollowed.
And his temples melted.
And his eyes receded in their sockets.

  1. I just studied and recently sat my exam on The Kite Runner for my A level… I’m not sure whether I’m happy to see the return of The Kite Runner after months of revision or run for the hills hahaha
