Rejection Scars

Romance can be so unfair

When you have so much love to share

And you have so many ways of just being there

Helping someone with tender loving care

You can give loyal love and affection

Offer emotional support and protection

But without a mutual connection

Your heart gets scarred with rejection

Treasure Beyond The Barrier

I walk in this world alone as an alien

Foreign to the customs without neighbor or kin

No one to understand, to see who I am within

There's something in my exterior

That acts as a barrier

Hiding what I have to offer

I speak of walls as barriers not as though I wear a mask

Because I'm an open book answering any question you may ask

But finding a functioning relationship has been an unfulfilled task

November Nights

On November nights cold and damp

I wander alone as a tramp

Waiting to see

Whats to become of me

But find a frigid future bare

As I stare at the nothingness there

All I can do is just walk on

Pass all the opportunities gone

No flame or spark left of desire

As bitter winds choke out the fire
