Rejected.

Damn, I can't sleep now.
The only thing I've known for a year,
The hope I've lived by,
Has just been denied,
And my heart is lying dead
Under the axe.

At this point
In my life
I'm used to rejection,
After all,
My kind isn't socially popular.
But to be rejected
By your true love;
That is real pain.

My unrequited love
Could have lasted forever;
And now I can't even look at her
For fear of awkwardness.

Even after I tell her,
Why don't things change?
She wants things to be the same,
And I haven't the heart
To tell her that that will never be possible.

I can never see things the same.
But now I must change my thinking,
And find somebody else
For her sake.
Because I love her.
