The Rejection

I met him on a summer's day, Lights sparkled in his eyes, I felt that love had come my way, I never once thought that he'd betray My love, I had no thought of 'goodbyes'. He turned my world so upside down, He mesmerised me then, He praised me on my choice of gown, I felt as if he wore a crown, For he towered above other men. I thought that true love, I had found, A love that was so sublime, But I was wrong, he was not bound To me, yet my heart can still resound With sweet rung bells, that chime How can one suddenly forget a face, So dear, so deeply held Within my being, in my minds embrace, And have to feel such deep disgrace At having been so availed. No more shall I be soft of heart, No more a swooning fool, For no one will fire such a deadly dart Into my soul, nor into any part Of me again, how could he be so cruel. I'll find someone to share my days, Someone who's just a friend, We'll feel for each other in many ways, I'll give encouragement and also praise, But never ever my heart, will I lend.
