Rejection

You promised me a brave new world
See
Here I am
With a heart wide open
Wide as my arms, when I asked you to hold me
My mind wide eyed
Waiting
Only waiting for a sign
To believe.

You promise me, my love wont be unfounded
Look
Here I am
Loving you with my finger tips
Feeling your beauty seep into my skin
As you reject my touch
Smiling
Only smiling as my heart suddenly withered inside me
Unbelieving.

It took you a withered heart to realise
That I have starved for rain.
It took you my lifeless body, to see
How I tried in vain to breathe you in.
It took you a broken soul
To start to want to mend
While I had started to look away into the unknown
Reaching out my hand to the heavens even as you mourned over me
Wondering if only the darkness held my dark lord.
