Esprit de Coeur: REJECTED

    My sadness looms, I can't disguise

    The pain that deep inside me lies

    It feels like storms crashing within

    Each time I remember your defying grin

    In this lurking mem'ry, I feel your chagrin,

    l've no friend who'll replace your absence

    And thus there is no recompense

    My tortured heart remains insensate

    Will it survive the pain, or, will it immolate?

    A new heart may be my only way.

    I try to see the bright of day,

    But no rainbow spreads into my view.



   Although, this is a day anew,

   My anguished heart..its recrudescence

   Continues yesterday's painful lessons  

   Could this take another lifetime?

   Or will this rhyme find peace sublime?

   One golden heart has gone to waste

   But while it beats, should I try my best

   To restore the fragments left from your test?

   This crashing storm within are fears

   The calming wake is my rainbow of tears,

   I'm a shattered prism, in mosaic dress

   My candle's snuffed, I must confess



   A heart once happy, filled with life

   Is all but empty, yet, full of strife

   The thrill is gone, the end draws near

   No cloud in trousers will appear

   To erase this soporific state

   I've nothing left to compensate  

   Just fragments of a heart in atrophy

   Its greater part is now your trophy

   I hope it brought you love and joy

   In the three years that I was your toy.

   Should this life go on or should it end

   There's still so much ... I need a friend
