Aftermath of Rejection

Carve into your heart 
with a red hot knife
Cut away that part 
which justifies life

An exquisite piece 
of dream like arts
Torn and shredded 
into bloody little parts

Coughing it out 
bit by tiny bit
What doesn't digest, 
doesn't just sit

Sledgehammer blows on
a  pretty white dove
The brutal fate of 
an unwanted love
