Ignored Is My Love

Ignored Is My Love

Opening up to you,
Placing my heart in your grasp,
Firmly implanted,
Confident of your care and love,

My feelings bottled up for so long,
A weight is finally released,
Slowly floating to the clouds,
Feeling light again,

Happiness comes upon me,
Anxious to hear your response,
With a bounce in my step,
A sparkle in my eyes,

Not having felt this way in so long,
Being fearful of love,
I long for your acceptance,
Long for your love,

Not a word is uttered,
Not a sound is made,
Unaware of my heart’s standing,
As you quickly walk away,

A sadness dawns upon me,
Confusion runs rampant,
Not knowing what to think,
At the sound of silence,

Ignored are my thoughts,
Ignored are my feelings,
Ignored is my heart,
Ignored is my being,

Ignored from your life,
Pushed far away,
Whether out of fear or being “nice,”
I’m ignored all the same.

Thanks for the kind comments, but I'm sorry you can relate. This happened to me just recently (hence the inspiration for the poem). In my opinion, being ignored is worse than rejection, because at least with rejection, there's a definite answer and it becomes easier to rest the mind and fully move forward. But, with being ignored, questions still linger and for me, at least, it's more difficult and time-consuming to completely get over the mystery that surrounds the person, their feelings and the situation.
