Rejection

It hurts

I’m hurt and upset over something that never even happened

Over something that never was going to happen

 


You were perfect

Heartache after heartache

Then I found you

You were everything that wanted in someone

Everything about you was so infatuating

 


Curiouser and curiouser by the days spent talking to you

One day I had the audacity to ask who was it that you were infatuated by?

As you kept describing them it sounded a lot like myself

Until you told me their name

Everything froze and shattered then I walked away

With the fragments of my heart in my hand

 


I tried to move on

But failed to do so

One day I thought if I told you and actually get rebuked I would get over you

I did so and finally got my answer

The No I knew was coming

Though I knew the bullet was coming I didn’t dodge it in time

You tried to let me down slow yet still managed to push me down hard

 


One day I’ll be over it but until I figure out how to put my heart together again

I’m still hurt

Slowly but surely I’ll be able to fix it

Don’t keep holding on, sometimes what you’re holding on to I exactly what you need to let go of
