Rejection
It usually breaks the heart into pieces,
And pains the soul
The pain so unreal to the naked eye
Which I wear a mask to cover
Seems to disintegrate every time I see you
And suddenly it feels as though my walls are coming down
And my emotions come out
Nights are the worst though,
Wishing and thinking of what we never had,
It tears me apart like that Michael Jackson song, ‘Bad’
People say there’s more fish in the sea
But you’re the one I want on my hook
I want you to be here
Here.
Here.
What a powerful word that is
For being away is like a parent without their kids
This abandonment which you have made me feel
And the situation seems horrible and unreal
My heart which seems like a soldier at best,
Goes through relentless pressure which pushes it to the test
Not only at war with this person, but also my brain
Thoughts of being with them comes back and back again
“Be rational” it screams, “Forget about him,” it shouts
If only it was that easy,
I would surely continue my life without a doubt.
