I feel rejected
And lonely
And stupid
And cruel

I feel sappy
Like crying
A river
Or storm

I feel nauseous
Like I’m sick
My head hurts
My heart aches

I feel foolish
And in pain
Like a punch
In the gut

Then the day
It passes
And I think back
To the start

I feel nothing
Just cold
Like my toes
On a cold day

I don’t feel rejected
And lonely
And stupid
And cruel

I don’t feel sappy
Like crying
A river
Or storm

I don’t feel anything
Nothing at all
Especially when I think
It's all because of you
