Rejection can hurt a lot, even though it's only a state of mind. Dwell on it or realise that there'll always be a better option. You won't necessarily see it coming; don't abandon all hope. I wrote this the night my fiancee accepted my proposal.

Our friendship grown from moments shared,
Four years I give to pointless tales,
A bond will form as time moves on,
A choice is made, innocence fails,
No more am I bound to you than the sand unto the sea,
I am I, my thoughts are mine, and mine alone to know;
I don't need your pity or empathy, I won't hold your outstretched hand,
My only want is for loneliness, shadowed memories in tow.
The sun now sets, the moon will rise,
Another wasted day,
For still I feel the bitter cold,
This chill abounds, for warmth I pray,
I seek the gentle comfort in the candle of your soul,
Tired I grow of the worthless life of one who bars their doors,
It is easy to live alone, give trust only to yourself,
But I'd prefer to embrace the freedom that comes from being chained.

And I'm not a masochist. It's a figure of speech... press on, Wah.
