Love Unrequited
Love Unrequited
Forget her, I write poetry for you
How I wish I were lush,
Someone a little more worth your time.
I wish my eyes sparkled and my words echoed in your head.
If I could but catch your glance and make you wonder,
Make you ponder and cause you to yearn,
I’d be content.
Your arms are like a bear trap,
But tempting like the apple to Eve.
If you would only set that trap,
I’d be all too willing to be caught.
How I wish I were magnificent.
Someone you strived to be with.
I wish you ached to hold me and fought for my affections.
But alas, things are not so and you are not so.
I remain unrequited,
I remain alone.
Your heart is an empty room,
Mine is overflowing.
Could we not balance one another?
I’m all too willing to spill.
