The Torments of Rejected Love

Lost love can make you crazy
bereft,  you loose your mind
cause you to speak in foolishness
make you seem unkind

Some will freak in private
and hold it deep inside
in the darkness of the shadows
in the caverns of their  mind

Others will ranter and rave
with madness they rage with fire
seething and speaking in tongues
with wrathful demented desire

When the one you love leaves you
and you can no longer cry
the ache becomes a burning pain
and you feel like you're gonna die

Lying in your bed at night
you look upon the walls
the tacit ghosts of all you feel
heave their silent calls

You sleep in stolen moments
when your demons take a break
yet they return to torture you
as you lie there wide awake

Your stomach growls and grumbles
devoid of aliment
unable to eat or swallow food
deprived of nourishment

Needing to talk and get it out
the fear of total eruption
the flow of volcanic excrement
a tirade of spastic dysfunction  

Your life has become disordered
disrupted with utter confusion
caused by the pain in your heart
as you face love's lost illusion

Bitter and angry, half insane
you tear and cut at yourself
you seethe and boil with volatile oil
no one can seem to help

Well meaning friends drop the rope
to climb up out of your well
but you prefer to stay where you are
in the depths of your prison of hell

Daily distractions of work and play
relieves the misery a bit
but you remain love's casualty
as its martyr you willingly sit

Only you can stop this folly
this maddening ride you're on
flip the switch, and ditch the witch
the spell will finally be gone

You may have to resort to some praying
it might take some help from above
to relieve all the pain, and restore you to sane
the torments of rejected love
