Rejection

Rejection, a bittersweet drug,

Impossible to hide under a rug,

Flows like quicksilver swift,

Between us, an insurmountable rift.

The smile, the eyes that melt

Even the hardest of hearts, 

This deep an abyss I never felt,

Leaving love in twain, in parts. 

The awkwardness was cute,

Your face an ecstasy I never had,

But to you I did not suit, 

Hence a silent tear I shed
