My Love, Unrequited

This is something I wrote. It’s not a poem, it’s not a song, it’s just the language of the heart. I feel that everyone might have experienced such a feeling at one point or another in their life. This is dedicated to all who bottle up their feelings and go on with life without telling anyone what their heart speaks.


MY LOVE, UNREQUITED

I find myself lost in thoughts too often lately,
And I really can’t seem to comprehend it all
Cause what my heart and mind are telling me aren’t the same at all

Not a moment goes by without me thinking about you,
Your smile,
Your voice,
Your touch,
You are always on my mind.

So is this what they call love?
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
Is this how it’s supposed to be when you’re in love?
If it is,
Then I don’t want to feel it,
I can’t bear it
Cause its tearing me apart to be in the dark and
Not know how you feel about me.
I have to escape it!

I guess I’ll say goodbye to you,
And to memories of you,
And leave it all behind me and start over again
Afresh, anew

The pain will be unbearable,
But it won’t kill me,
I know I’ll survive it,
I know and I will.

Yet another good expression from you. I like the way you've ended this one. Most writers would probably end it as I know I will. But, you chose to go with "I know and I will".

It tells me a lot about your strong-willed yet sensitive personality.

Very good!!!
