Do you love me?

Rejection and heartbreak. False hope. Written for a contest using specific words.

holding my breath
fresh like mint
after you rejected me
i don't even dare
to look behind
as i grab my purse
shivering in rain
because putting my
jacket on
when my world's collapsing
is a very risky move
i've gambled enough with you
my steps are unsteady
frigid raindrops
clumsily guiding me home
i should just lock up my
naive heart in a basement
and burn all the creepy
feelings in my stomach
and i shall let them die
all alone and neglected
like me

This is a really good write, love the descriptiveness of this.
