Rejection

I feel the tears swell up inside,
I try to hold them back.
But sill they come, the sadness runs,
My mask, it slowly cracks.

I try to wait 'til I'm alone,
As not to be disturbed.
I'll weep until my heart gives out,
A suicide preferred.

This devastation is a desparation,
It holds me tight with hands of stone.
I can't escape; is this my fate?
To die a somber, lonely soul?

The blackness never goes away,
I sit here in the dark.
Every time I try to leave,
The light I'm reaching for is too far.

But as the rest, the pain it heals,
And once again I start to feel.
My soul, my mind, they've come so far,
For my heart recovers from your scar.

Nice simple wording makes this presentation easy to read and understand. It is quite descriptive with some good rhyming.

I know... This was from long, long ago. I haven't talked to you in so long, so much has happened. v.v Maybe soon, then? I'll wait.
