Rejecting Her Plea To Renegotiate What Was

Evoking sullen quests of a lonesome mind She stepped outside under the starry skies Only to find, one more time, no one replied It was a vibrant sky celebrating moonlight Wanting no part of her gloomy trespass Jolting her entrance in thunderous clouds Being self absorbed within grim thoughts She rewrote the vows engraved in hearts Ignoring sensuous past that longingly recalls Refusing feelings that once she cherished Courting indignation of a senseless voice Asserting obliquely, she made her choice Unwilling to acknowledge her cries forlorn Silence she heard was the galactic response Rejecting her plea to renegotiate what was May 10, 2019 HM: Strand select M contest by Brian Strand

Some decisions are not renegotiable, Vijay. It's like jumping from the top of a cliff...there is no going back! Your poem is a heart wrencher. ~ Regards // paul

We often forget what was and don’t appreciate what is. I enjoyed this thoughtful write.

oh that is a horrible feeling and I think more commonplace than most realize. Loved "galactic response" What a cool line. You rocked this poem.

It seems that nature opposes her, with all its beauty and light.

Rejection, an emotion the heart has a hard time dealing with. Sometimes, to the point of not allowing anyone to get close. Ever again. Very sad indeed. Your thoughts tug deeply at my heart. ~ Brandy
