My heart feels the tension
That coils in my soul
That pain called rejection
Which leaves me unwhole

How do I continue
Remain in the game
When my only venue
Is home with the pain

How can I listen to
Those words that hurt so
The ones, “I don’t love you”
That slice to the bone

And so I just smile
And nod and go on
And I live in denial
Though I feel put upon

So each day I die
Just a little bit more
And each day I cry
As I walk out the door

Laurenel - sad one this is, and to feel rejection is painful. Chin up, and wish you the best...

Laurenel, this is written so beautifully,  but it's so sad. I hope it's not from your personal experience..

Hugs...

Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes this was from person experience. I was very down for a long time after but now I'm happy again.
