Love Rejection

The tension between love and apprehension

What you need but are too afraid to seek

For fear of being thrown on the reject pile

And having to turn the other cheek.

***

From young to old we see others

Our friends, neighbors and old lovers

Move on with love renewed

Whilst we tell ourselves,

Another rejection is too much to be suffered.

***

To have loved and lost is never to have loved at all

The heart-swell of emotion we felt

Was just a lie we told ourselves

A way in which our loneliness can be dealt.

***

But to live in quiet solitude

When happiness possibly awaits

Is surely a waste of our lives’ potential

Our happiness may very well negate

***

So, love will always find a way they say

If not you need to find it first

A partner to go through life with

And to satiate your love,

and loving need and thirst.
