Like a stab on my chest,
it leaves me breathless
for a moment or two.
dwelling on it ruins my day
and days ahead.

I struggle to break free, but
it haunts me even in my sleep,
bringing me nightmares...
I thought sleepless nights would be better....
But no....nothing is better.

You, being the source
makes it more painful,
more unbearable...
piercing.....shattering....
my whole being.

Like poison,
I refuse to swallow it.
I find it hard to accept
this feeling of rejection
.......from you..........
