where do I go from this point
happiness cocooned in rejection
what a sickening image
that brings to mind
let it go Melissa
just let it go
their problems
are not your problems
yet, in my soul it hurts
that I'm thought so little of
especially when I, myself care so
much
ah, but foolish, sentimental hearts
find themselves all too easily
trampled upon
I am just another discarded casualty
of careless handling
looking across a courtyard
at what could have so beautifully been
a better alliance
but is only now
litter and dust
at my disbelieving feet.............
