Rejection
You have cried on my shoulder
I have contained your pain,
I could have left you alone,
not care, walk away...
Instead, I stood by your side
soothe your anger,
drank your tears
caressed your ego
made you whole again...
and, all I received was rejection.
I stand alone
among the ruins of what we were,
knee deep in sorrow
no place to go, but here.
Braving the winds of self-pity,
denying there is any hope
ripping away the shackles
I stand tall,
and then, I am gone.
I have contained your pain,
I could have left you alone,
not care, walk away...
Instead, I stood by your side
soothe your anger,
drank your tears
caressed your ego
made you whole again...
and, all I received was rejection.
I stand alone
among the ruins of what we were,
knee deep in sorrow
no place to go, but here.
Braving the winds of self-pity,
denying there is any hope
ripping away the shackles
I stand tall,
and then, I am gone.
