Forever Unrequited

I scribble down my love for you

Each word martyrs of my passion

I bleed through the lines

It takes a lifetime almost

And at last it's done

Beneath my ribs I feel that painful heart

Bearing immense burden

The burden of my love for you

I cling onto the memories there never had been

I ache at those murderously handsome smiles you threw

Knowing none were on my account

I weep, I crumble, I long

From the pool of tears I rise again

Strong enough

And immune to your smile

Yet the aching heart beats

It forms a tune

Of that of melancholy

It resonates throughout the room

Suffocated, I run away

With the words embedded into the white sheet

I tear them into tiny bits

Blood dripping from every bit

I send it along with the wind

Letting it escape into unknown horizons

My love flies and floats

All along in the free air

Looking at the gleaming diamond on my ring finger

I heave a sigh...

I let you pass, freeing you from this aching heart

Still, I wonder

Were you too oblivious

Or did you know it all along

I trudge back into that room

And oh, i hear that tune of melancholy playing again

The tune of my love for you

The tune of my unrequited love for you.
