i feel your despair
thick as a hazy lair
leaden sobs
and plumb bobs
sizzling the trampoline
below angry air
i care
amid static confusion
this illusion that we fare
a separate pair
and i share
your battle scarred heart
wondering how you are
apart from the world
of the busy
and money
and if it weren’t for that
would you be with me
tenderly?

Rejection is one of the most painful of human emotions. Humans crave love and connection. The pain of rejection shows up in the brain in the same area that physical pain does. I choose to be present to that feeling holding the opposite energy, and holding you who need…love. I am not immune. Hold me too.
