Rejection

His absence brings looming clouds and sprinkled tears cascading down
His attendance brings sunny skies and a broken heart

Erased memories, claimed to be forgotten, run through my head all night,
Visions of his face, his actions, and then his words make me ache inside and out

Pain radiates in my chest as the tears threaten to break over,
I question, ‘Is he worth this?’

I know the answer, but it doesn’t erase the sting of his rejection
As of now, I know nothing that will.

Rejection, there’s no sweetness in this sorrow.
