The moon without stars

They asked me, \" How do you define 

rejection?\"

The moment my heart shattered into

tiny pieces,

my body remained still-

unaware of my surroundings.

My ears remained silent

in that noisy city

The rain cried for me-

I had no tears left that day.

My mind felt empty-

like the moon without stars.

I lost my way-

like an abandoned car in the deep desert.

I lost myself, my dreams, my life-

all sank into that ocean of rejection

I cried my soul out-

it was all I could do...
