Remnants of Rejection
December 3, 2011
It’s all so distant when you step away.
When the heart isn't yours,
There’s no reason to sway.
But then It comes to home,
A Prodigal Demon,
Cold and probing,
Nothing can save you.
Sweet nothings lose meaning.
You are helpless against the passion
and following pain.
Helpless. Loveless. Heartless. Comfortless.
This-or-that-less—
that most cold suffix.
Spare the drama,
I-couldn’t-care-less.
Still trying to process
How I’m dying inside,
Because you were so tactless.
You eat my thoughts
And r*** my dreams,
You leave no marks
But my silent screams—
Nothing to indicate
Your crimes that obliterate;
You smother me
And I hate you.

Such passion in these words! I have never had an experience quite as terrible as yours, but I felt like I knew the emotions as I read. Keep writing! Maybe you can review some of my poetry?
