Rejection
I have been waiting
for your response all day,
with baited breath
and jumpy nerves.
My eyes burn red
from staring at the
bright, white
screen, little black letters
on a background of light.
You have been sitting
next to me all day;
I only sent it in a message
because I can't force the words out.
You read my confession this morning;
afternoon passed,
now it is one thirty AM.
I pressed again,
just to rush my demise;
rejection rings cold,
and with one tiny line of text,
I am broken.
