Rejected Again Poem by James Casey

Rejected Again

Here I sit crying and don't know why
Was just talking to you and I felt so high

Then all of a sudden it all came crashing down
Was not even long enough to make a sound

'I can't marry you' is what you said
Now all I can do is run those words through my head

What did I do I ask myself over and over
All I asked for was a lifetime lover

That ring didn't mean anything to you
But,800 dollars was more than a few

I wish I could answer you
I wish I knew what to do

All I know is that I want you over all other
I want you for my friend and for my lover

Tears falling down my cheeks
Like rain falling into the streets

I can't stop them, I can't seem to win
I don't understand, what was my sin

Why was I rejected by you?
