My constant companion,
A dull ache in my heart
No matter how far I run
We just can't seem to part
You’re the hesitance in my smile
The thoughts swimming in my head
All the possible scenarios
All the things left unsaid
A reminder of my faults,
Unforgiving and tough
Of all of the reasons
I’m not good enough
Even when I lie dormant
Stripped of distractions and protection
It curls up with me to sleep at night,
Always with me –
Your rejection.
