#TheUnrequitedLove

What bewrays more misery than futile love?
Love unanswered speaks volumes of untold despair,
Never caring, never sparing,
The vivacious bounds of a heart in love.

What bemoans the soul as cold to dry air?
Love disregarded; love left to echo
The far cries of memories deserted.
Forsaken yet cleaved unto, depths
Of callow retreat, staged by a desperate heart.

Cupid's love burns yet strongly within,
Fire to fire, passion to flame. Yet
Reminiscence on the truth serves only
To drive the knife deeper, plunging.
Cavernous wounds, scintillating agony,
The lonesome heart revives still in its hope.

A darkling desire, a wandering spectre,
A mere shadow of passion
Doused; withering blooms, blighted love,
A spark left to die in agonizing bliss.
What remains yet of a love unrequited?
Battered hopes and fading joy; A sepulchre
Of unfanthomed depths and longing miseries.
