It’s bewildering: synchronicity
Stumbling over that threshold
Of someone else’s
Into the cold sobering air
Of reality; that waking sensation
That numb and yet accidental
Humiliation, all rolled into one moment
Experienced simultaneously
Wanted or not, shattering your delusion
Circumstances make for romantic fools
Time and time again over the ages
After you started believing in a love possibility
That would defy all odds of probability
But- instead find yourself facing- it not
Standing alone in that never ending moment
That you don’t have a chance in hell
To sum it all up, mildly
Not only are they silently rejecting you
But you have to fully admit
And responsibly evict your unwelcome self
As one of those “good ones” again
Another scar for your souls sleeve
Seen and praised for all your realness
You and your revealed heart of gold title
Are left in as a dark shivering of an answer
As not good enough to be the one wanted
And now you’re forced to silently…move on

But of course as I suppose it would be hard for anyone experiencing those moments.

Truth is, all my titles are carefully selected. If I may ask, why do you find it so interesting?

Because it makes me wonder why you selected it. Care to tell?

Sure. Unlike those pivotal and life changing moments we “uniquely” experience, someone else has already “owned” that moment before us, we’re just borrowing it, which is why we need to evict ourselves in a rational manner. I do hope that wasn’t too deep and made sense.

Oh! Of course that makes sense. Thanks, yes, a concept that has been written about since the beginning of creative writing. And you’ve patented it. And copyrighted it. Nice!

I shouldn’t have said “nice.” Sarcasm isn’t nice. Retracted, and apologies for that. To be honest, I didn’t think it seemed rational. Best wishes, and thanks likewise for explaining.

Ahhh, It’s fine really and I didn’t take or read it that way. Best wishes to you as well.

“silently rejecting” – that’s interesting… I wouldn’t have expected such rejections to be silent, necessarily.

So u mean ignoring….

Is that a question?

Not a question…silently rejecting is the same as ignoring

Perhaps… silence may also be due to self preservation. A mitigating act of protecting oneself and not about anything else.

Then ur not thinking of the other party who needs words not silence or ignoring from a coward who’s hiding and not adulting at the time

You seem to have a very conflated sense of moralism you sabotage others with like a self appointed Goddess defining what is right or wrong for the world. according to your whims. I don’t need to worry about others as a writer.
