lost in your eyes, trying to find words
words that make sense of this feeling
“i love you” caught behind the lump in my throat
hearts racing to hear the words that hurt the most
the rejection that scars the heart
the tears that well up in my eyes
the fear that haunts the mind
the words that tear you apart
“but i don’t love you”
the crying eyes glass over
the heart stops racing
the fear rests, poking your mind
reminding you this is rejection
these are not the words that mend your weakened self
these are words that shatter reality
create an escape
real life is not a fairytale
the imagined is all an escape from the torment
lies, wounds, scars, hurt, tears
and the rain pouring down the windowsill
seems to tear the world apart and yet
it brings loose ends together
then it’s the end
