Rejection

Those words were thrown out
before I could pull them back.
And now my heart
is thrown off of track.

I can't believe
they escaped so easily.
What, now,
must you think of me?

Those three words,
"I love you",
have so much effect
yet words so few.

Now that I've said
what's on my mind,
take a gun,
if you'd be so kind

and shoot the bullets
into my head.
Maybe this won't hurt
if I'm dead.

Please just say
anything at all.
Don't just stand there
and watch me fall.

Now that my soul is bared
what will you say?
Will you return my love?
Or will you push me away?
