The Taste of Rejection

Folder: 
Hating Him

Rejection:

the most repulsive taste.

Love’s polar opposite,

his unexpected doppelganger.



Both sting,

each in its own way,

especially when coming

from the same set of

bleeding eyes

that remind me

of the poison I am.



A limp hand held quietly

and a look so haunting

that when the flashbacks hit,

they reverberate in the silence:

how I’ve tiptoed around the truth

because being desired

was such a flavorful lie.



Maybe, just a few more doses...
