rejection

By danica mcdonald

rejection is what is most feared when it comes to relationships.
it is what makes people not take chances.
it is what makes people regret not doing something.
and i took chances for you.
and i put my heart on the line because i regret not doing it when we were together.
that doesn't mean the rejection didn't hurt.
i would do anything for you and you don't see that.
i just wish you could see how much i have tried.
i don't know what else to do.
i cant try any harder.
im almost strung out.
almost done.
trying.

    on the other side of that if you hold your heart out for anyone to take there eventually becomes a permanent detachment from the feeling itself. i like this, been there. keep writing
