Rejection
Rejecting someone isn't easy
It like breaking a beautiful vase,
A vase you created with sweat and tears
With laughter and smiles
A vase, you have tenderly handled up until now
It's like tearing a part of your soul and leaving a void
Dark, black, hopeless, empty
Swallowing a poisoned pill knowing it kills
Gulping it down without water
Leaving behind a bitter taste on the once sweet tongue
like dipping in water, drowning your heart
Trying to breath,
folding onto yourself,
Curling and holding your knees to chest
Keeping your eyelids close
Because they can't see your tears
Because it isn't supposed to hurt so much
It feels like the sky is heaving
Screaming and crying
Pouring it's pain, in words it can't form
Like the first morning ray
struggling to reach your bed
through the curtains of your window
Curtains that were closed the night before
Sleep never really visited the room did it?
An Infant you gave birth to ,
tiny in your huge hands
Choking for air,
You are standing still, in turmoil, helpless
Rejecting someone is like
that garden which you stopped watering
You see it wither and waste away
Years and years of hard work,
disappearing with each noon of summer
So by any means, next time someone rejects you
Do no call them ruthless and selfish
Because rejection is the most selfless gift they can give you.
