A Bitter Pill

"Rejection ....
.... a difficult pill to swallow
and one, that I think, will always be

sour ball
in the pit of the stomach
refusing to disintegrate
be broken down
and to leave
more acid than the stomach juices
it takes its time
and only when
you're ready to let go
stop resisting
and let it be
does it finally fade
dissolve
and leave you
some relief
finally some peace.
and in its place
a gaping hole
a searing rip of flesh
tender
and weeping
and broken...."
