Not an Option

The end of hope
Is not what I expected
No major catastrophe
Not even a blink of an eye
Marked the death of what could be
There is an emptiness inside
Some sadness and remorse
For all my stupid actions
That threw this love off course
But perhaps there never was a love
Anywhere other than in my mind
Because despite what I thought I knew
The stars have never aligned
And so this is it
The rejection is complete
And now I know for certain
You’ve never thought of choosing me
