Unrequited

Unrequited love – the hardest, yet familiar part to play
Regular occurrence in my experience of life
The humorous unknown other (when will it be my day)

Lacklustre eyes observe potential stray
Temples were built for trouble and strife
Unrequited love – the hardest, yet familiar part to play

Good sense has left, found reason to weigh
Heavy, intelligence abandoned mid-life
The humorous unknown other (when will it be my day)

Heavy hangs the unequivocal dismay
Inaccurate portrayal of crisis rife
Unrequited love – the hardest, yet familiar part to play

Reverie is preferable to reality as nerves fray
Fervent thoughts threaten like a knife
The humorous unknown other (when will it be my day)

Soul scarred yet unexpectedly open it’s lay
In hope of surviving this, as a wife
Unrequited love – the hardest yet familiar part to play
The humorous unknown other (when will it be my day)
