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

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.

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
