Rejection Slip
I believed in
You,
Breaking my heart
Wasn't even an option
Lies weren't included
In the manuscript.
Everything broke down
Dreams
Shattered
Scattered,
In the wind of your
Scorch.
Now I lay torn
Shredded pages of
Your personal journal,
Another bookmark
In the tragedy
You
Call life,
Another candid
Still
In the black and white
Of your greys,
And one final
Verse
In the book of us,
That never was.
