Rejection

A feeling of betrayal
To which no one would like to avail

To give out and never get back
To want more but more is what you lack

Turned down
With a permanent frown

Walk away
And never talk or say

Of how bad that made you feel
And how this hurt is unreal

This is rejection
Almost the opposite of affection
Leads you towards another direction
I hate the feeling of rejection
