"Invested in Illusion"
Yearning for someone who was never yours,
A unique ache consumes the heart.
Hope and dreams poured into the unseen,
Emotions hidden in plain sight.
Dissecting every exchange,
Seeking a glimmer of possibility.
A tumultuous ride of feelings,
One day connected, the next invisible.
Questioning what went astray,
When it never truly commenced.
A state of emotional limbo,
More than mere friends, less than lovers.
Left pondering,
Struggling to grasp unrequited emotions,
Wondering if they acknowledged your love.
There's no such thing as bad timing,
Just the wrong ones meant to depart.
Never destined to linger,
The right ones fight to stay.
Appearing in the midst of chaos,
Providing solace in times of agony.
Risking it all with unwavering certainty,
Choosing you boldly, surrendering their heart.
Do not settle for half-hearted affection,
Await those who recognize your worth.
Closure arrives with those who depart,
Unwilling to grant you the attention deserved.
Cease pouring yourself into endeavors
That yield naught in return,
Refrain from forcing yourself into ill-fitting spaces.
