The Saving Hand

Rejection is
a blessing,
the hand
that keeps
you from
falling
off a
cliff,
and
the chain
that pulls
you away
from a
life of
far
greater
misery
than
it's
Sting,
and oh
yes it
hurts,
and how
painful
the burn
oh yes it
makes
you
wail
inside,
but perhaps
rejection
is the
savior
and
not the
cruel
curse,
for the
rub
could be
so much
worse
and you
might be
spared
from
the deep
mighty
bucket
of agony
and
grief,
and your
own trail
of
tears,
be thankful
your alive,
for love has
ripped up
hearts
like
cardboard
and has
left many
dead
inside,
their
shoulders
burdened
by a
monkey
of
regret,
wishing
that they
had
never
fell in
love
