Rejection

The most painful thing about rejection

Is the fact that you were never the desirable.

Never even ‘in consideration’ in mind.

And oh, don’t get me wrong.

You definitely were ‘all that’

But you were ‘all that’ to the wrong person or in the wrong circumstances.

The thought that expressed their ‘never’

In your world of willful hope or is it wistful wish?

At first, a daze of unparalleled lines,

Blurry reality the mind wants unminded

Aishh.. should this heart still long?

But never could become ever.

Or will the shattered longing be heart’s full?

It hurts more when your heart’s all in,

Holding on to that wasps line of hope,

Afraid of the dangle yet willful to tangle.

Was it that you were never the desirable?

This rejection of before, on and after never

In this tug for the crown with the ‘desired’

You were just never desirably desired!

Never is hope’s fear to be touched

The desired becoming wrongly hoped

An unclaimable right that worked never,

Just never yours its throb to grasp

Rightly watering or hoping the watering was right.

Phewww.. all this toil of the heart in charred!

What would it take to just hit it right ever?

Enough! Don’t waste energy in thoughts

If you never was, never become for a second.

But who knows, a second last eternity 

Because a second is eternity.
