In the realm of unrequited desires,
Where love's flame may never transpire,
A man finds himself bound by a silent vow,
To cherish a love he cannot avow.

Within him stirs a tempest of emotions,
Longing to express his utmost devotions,
But fate dictates a different decree,
Forbidding their love to ever be free.

He watches her from afar, as a poet might,
Silently composing verses throughout the night,
Each syllable drips with bittersweet pain,
As he weaves his love into an unspoken refrain.

The pallor of longing paints his every hue,
In her presence, his heartstrings imbue,
Every touch withheld, every word unspoken,
Aching...
