Rejection's Sting

12 May 2016

CJLsky
Feeling rejection's sting again
Each time worse than the last
It seems like all I am good for now
Is remaining in the past
Hope revealing its ugly face
As a cruel, remorseless liar
Giving me a moment's release
Just to throw me back in the fire

The quicksand of bitter loneliness
Slowly creeping over me
As I come closer to giving up
It feels so hard to breathe
Wishing in vain for anything else
But the conclusion that I face
Buried alive, yet dead inside
Until the day I am erased

I love all kinds of art, I write music as well as poetry and have been playing guitar for many years, with bass as a secondary instrument. If you happen to have stumbled on this profile, hopefully you enjoy my writings!
