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
