Unrequited Love


I had always been alone,
Until I found you,
You who lit up my life,
And gave me what I never knew.

In you I found,
That for which I seek,
And now all I know,
Is that with you I grow weak.

But it is not a bad weakness,
For it is the weakness of caring,
A weakness I harken to,
And embrace with unknown daring.

But alas, I have found a flaw,
A flaw that tears and rips at me,
For though I love you,
You act as though my love you can not see.

You ask many a thing of me,
And I gladly carry out your will,
But then you turn to others,
And I am left with envy as a sour pill.

But I take the pill willingly,
Taking heart in just being near,
Hoping beyond hope, that some day,
It shall be me you hold dear.
