shut

i am striving for your affection. you turn me off and walk away. what should i do with such rejection? how do i continue in the aftermath of your kiss? your hands, once warm and comforting, now close and pull away. how did i offend you? was it something in my speech? maybe something left unsaid? i hear your whispering voice. i know you are with someone else. warming a body other than my own with your delicate caresses that soothe the soul. i am shut out. left to struggle in the dark, cold streets when i should be in your home. there are no lights on the horizon. a delicate mist descends as the wind blazenly blows. i swallow and admit that i am finally alone.
