rejection is not the end of the world
death is not the last page of life
closed doors signify nothing
when you’re just a ghost
floating in memories
of your lost lover
cried all my tears
but pain still runs deep
i can't help but wonder why
you so easily pushed me away
but death is not the last page of life
and rejection is not the end of the world
oh, i know i'll get by like i've gotten by before
telling myself it's truly your loss not mine
living without you just a day at a time
not sorry for all the love i gave you
you will think of me and sigh
wishing i was there
but i couldn't stay
when you pushed me away
and now we have run out of time
there's no time left for sad goodbyes
and no time left for us to grieve and to cry
i know i'll live through rejection now as before
The strength in this poem is an inspiration to all women who have ever been through this. Wish I'd had it 28 years ago to serve as a tangible reminder of my strength. Thank you!
God bless you. Kathy

I absolutely love the structure of your poem. It makes a strong visual impact even before the words are read. I am not sure, however, if really conjures the image of a ghost. I get the feeling of something mirrored or reflected in water.
Tender words Belle. A meloncholy mood from you and the world goes dim, I shall light a votive for you that belches aromatic splender strong enough to redeem even ghosts. ;(
Belle,
This is surely intense, hope you are well, and you do something for your spirit. Lifted spirits lend new beginnings..
Peace, love, and light,

We all have those ghosties. Your spinerette embodies grace and beauty dealing with this theme. Usually it is expressed with anger.
Beautifully written and expressed!

wow-for anyone to reject a la Belle they need their head examined--the ghosts as well, I believe hang like cold stars in our memory banks for a long time-excellent!!
“Being a couple yet free is our next challenge on the evolutionary ladder. This book successfully helps us unravel the myths that block that achievement. It does it with warmth, with readability, and with balance. It recreates everyday problems and
