rejection - again

last night i was talking about you

my friend knows everything about how i feel

and we share our crushes and anecdotes.

funny thing, i had just said you didn't reply anymore

or, not as much as you used to,

which was a shame.

ding! your name on my screen

and a few messages later, you were finally

telling me

the words i had been fearing to read

but expected.

playing with fire has always been my thing, has it not?

and disappointment after disappointment

eventually erases the pain.

you warned me anyway

that's what i get for being stubborn.


now i'll have to fight the unrealistic romantic fantasy

the ghost of your smile, the compliments, the agony

forget everything - our conversations, your laughter, and our alchemy

i'll gather them, put them in a box, and bury

the feelings that grew in captivity.


she's everywhere; i'll have to repaint the walls of sensuality

with the colors of depravity.
