unrequited

your smile
your laugh
the way you light my path
the subtle words
turn my stomach into
a roller coaster
of want and need and denial
and self pity and self hate
your joy
your rage
Is it love?
Is it love if I'm the only one in it?
Is it love if it's unrequited?
If it's not returned?
I sacrifice my humility for you.
I confess my desire for you.
And it's not returned.

This hollow ache
I swallow the sword of fondness
I wait for it's closure to hit my stomach
It is unforgiving
It is tastless
It is mine alone
I am a garden.
This garden knows unrequited love.
This garden gives unconditional love, nonetheless.
Ripping and tearing bits and pieces out.
A bouquet of smiles and hope.
Surprisingly, the sun nags at my feelings and dampens my mood.
With furrowed brows, I scrutinize the brand new face on my left side.
I don’t know your features, and now my memory blurs at the corners of our past conversations.
Be it a single lumen or roaring bonfire, my feelings for him burn purple; Pink (love) + Blue (lust).
when you say my name, you say it like a poem you will never write.babylon boy, when i whisper your name in the pale moonlight,
Rain,
wet droplets hit my face
That time of year surely brings me faith
As the water weighs me down I pray
that maybe I'll be able to touch your base
Within the clouds
I find nothing
But within your voice
I see something
In the distance,
The dark is near
But in my heart
The stars are clear
As my eyes rain this cold, wet sorrow...
My heart yearns for a better tomorrow
To feel lips brushed against mine
Gently pressed, one of a kind.
Yes, the cold is trapped in my sweater
Five years old, I picked you out of my homeroom class
I thought I would marry you one day
You had a hat with your name embroidered on it
But it was in homage to a football player
Hey
you
One day I want you to smile at me
that dimple forming in your cheek
with knowing eyes
that we will be together
Not today
not tomorrow
sometime though
I’d let my beauty melt away
If only I could convey
That no matter what I do
I still need you.
it is easy
to love you
in the fantasy
i’ve formed
in my mind,
for under the protection
of my imagination,
we are together.
we are perfect.
we are infinite.
it is difficult
to have loved someone
who will never feel the same,
because a hopeless love
is the emptiest
and loneliest love
there could ever be.
lessons can be learned,
however,
The truth is, my darling, that time has passed and we have grown. And yes, I do love you. And yes, that has everything to do with this poem. Loving you has everything to do with who we’ve turned into, and who we’ve grown to become.
do you remember,
when your lips softly brushed mine,
and my heart was a bird escaping it's cage,
and my soul had wings bursting from my back,
because you smelt like cocoa butter and tasted like strawberries,
I love you with all that I am
And sometime’s that’s scary
But you say you love me too
Even though I’m fucking crazy
You are my all
It’s funny how much I’ve changed. I’m 14 years old, sitting in my room, now surrounded by white. White sheets pinned to the walls, white carpet, white dresser. They were blue once, but that has been drained away.
you used to sing to me in our
late nights of truths. love songs
that made me uncomfortable,
drifting me off to sleep.
a sleep that you watched until
i woke up, got uncomfortable again.
Moirai spun me, with you,
Sewn ourselves together to fate,
We lusted for our destiny.
Melted hours
folded together with ceaseless love.
As an elfin fairy dreamed,
I wanted her, for her I looked.
To touch her peony lips was my wish,
Giving the forest another longing look, away I turned.
Unrequited love is mine,
It happens a lot, this feeling that always seems as if to oscillate around my discernment:
Of darkness, and gorging pits of doom,
I've tried and tried to escape it vicariously through you,
With Her,
Faces, names, places,
All the world spins past,
On a colorful carousel
Within grasp,
But She is next to me
I don't care for anyone else
She's here
They're not.
I am strong-
I mutter this chant incessantly through my head and
I wonder now if I will ever be able to bear the burden of my own brokenness.
Sadness tears at the lungs
Madness rises like bile
Strung on a wire
Am I to escape this fire?
Tortured Souls are not whole
Hoarding feelings of frustration
Eyes feel heavy with supplications
please listen to the silence of my heart
so you, my love, may be spared from the grief
I was never graced with such sorrow
Until Sorrow did grace me
He landed on my door step
And what other choice
Than allow him to retrieve
(Or: how I learned that sweet things were the quickest way to my heart.)
Even the smallest gesture can contain so much meaning.
The very bones of my young body ache with the torment of missing you at night; to have your figure gracing contentedly over my ever yearning sight.
Did you know you make my brain hurt when you aren't even there?
This power you have, just doesn't seem fair.
I know I made it all up in my head, and I guess that is fine.
I miss you... everyday
I thought that time would... make this feeling go away
It gets much worse when I try to sleep at night
I am content to be alone
But with you would be even better, right?
Can't eat, can't sleep. My head is numb, and so are my feet. This is gonna hurt, yes this is going to hurt for a very long time. I can't remember, but I don't want to forget. Your smile, your laugh, everything about you so hard to get.
I ain't know it was possible to love someone so much..that they can send an electric shock through u with one touch....every time u see that person they make you smile....forget about all your Troubles.
He was a beautiful chapter from cover to cover.
Every star crossed moment, I will hold to forever.
The silver letters, the golden pages...
My God, it feels like it has been ages.
Alas; woe to my eyes--
Let them not see.
The object of my affection
Cares not of me.
May you be loved in a way that is beyond palatable for you, that doesn’t make your head spin, but makes you comfortable, that makes you pleased with life
Ciaorue
Tú eres una creatura hermosa.
You are a beautiful creature.
La felicitad que me traes todos los días es como una paloma blanca.
“Go with your gut feeling."
I don’t feel anything
Except the heat from my brain
Coupled with the pain of thinking of him
Cause I can’t, Won’t let myself stop thinking of you
Your birthday's on the clock is teasing me
Should I have let you leave?
Come back if you care
God please lead me to where I need to be
I trust that you or who will be with me
I’m afraid
Because you say you love me.
It breathes through our talks,
Hidden in praise and jests,
Where I can feel when it bubbles up
And I beg you not to say it
Through subject changes
Just by your presence makes me happy
Just by your smile keeps me warm
Hearing your voice makes me calm
These hands you'l never hold
Whenever it feels cold
These hands you'll never hold
Until it gets so old
inspired by the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
not pushed, nor did i jump
yet i fell into the fire
the vehement flames circle
heating me with a ferocity ethereal
I’m so sorry that I can’t be
Everything that you want from me
I’m sorry that I’m left trying to say
No, in the very kindest way
I get so confused, and I don’t understand
I was at the beach,And I thought of you
The autumn leaves fall from the trees,
crisp and bright.
The cold comes,
disguised with stealth.
My heart grows louder
as the days grow shorter,
proclaiming its objective
Are you oblivious to this
This is something you can't miss
I have feelings in my heart, in the dark
I can't let them go no
I just keep them inside and try to hide
How can I stop?
Mash the button screaming OFF
A violently labled plea
For a silent scream.
It doesn't work; no current
Thought with no life in it,
Every spark feeds
My desire instead.
This beating heart aches with each breath I take,
The pain is unbearable to my soul.
I am drowning in this fiery lake,
And this person I am is far from whole.
Each day, I steal many a glance at you,
I rap lazy
I miss Lacy
Stay with me
Leavin me for a jew, shit's kinda shady
Don’t text sayin’ you miss me
Your silence was louder than any noise you could make
It must really feel good to be you...
Because, I sit here and think of you every second of every day and it hurts,
Some words will never be heard, but it doesn’t mean that they will go unsaid.
It is in the speaking of the word, not the hearing, that the word comes alive.
You have become an anonymous figure synonymous with: lean lines and shallow dips,Hard firm muscles and sexy dark lips.
Saw you again today.
Made me insecure because
I didn't know which I wanted to do more;
Asking again
"What do you think?"
"What color does she prefer
blue, purple, or pink?"
"Am I too short, too weird, my thoughts abstract?"
I don't even know why you ask me that.
I never truly understood the stories
Where the girl would spend weeks pining after some guy
"Way out of her league"
Who didn't even know her name
After she saw him with another woman
I've thought about such a situation
In my medical meditation.
Like who should I be praising for salvation?
I am but a martyr,
Opening the ringing chino store,
Did you ever love me, like I loved your hands?
On my throat as you choked me with your lips, on hers.
Did you ever want me, like I wanted your attention?
Out of the corner of your eye, when she spoke.
In my mind
It only makes sense that if you fall into something
You have to go through something
So it surprises me that people always talk about falling in love
But never talk about what they fell through
sometimes
i dream
of you
tendrils creeping
wrapping
around my heart
choking out its last few beats
(( thump thump --- ))
Unrequited,unreturned
the lessons I have learned
took a risk,
speak with the lips I never kissed,
a lover of the light
a whisper in the night,
made my heart ignite
Her heart pure and trueEyes full of love and wonderShe wants of nothing, yetHe would give her all If only she would look his way.
If you have love in your life,
Then sir you have achieved what most men cannot.
More than, any sailor dares to conceive in his
Rash and unreasonable mind. But ay
We are just men.
When he tells you about their first date
And about how perfect that first summer was
He doesn't love you
When he explains to you in soft, hushed details
How he made love to her in the back of his jeep
and I would go
where you go
and follow in your footsteps
over mountains
over hills
through valleys
and small towns
over oceans
over puddles
I would follow you anywhere
Unrequited Love, you see, that's my life story,
There's times I wish I could go back to when you didn't exist to me.
Nothing's worse than knowing the person you want to be with
is a made up myth.
The most dangerous urges are tempting me again
And if I shall cross the path, I will lose a friend
If you go there once, there's a price to pay
The battle within myself to stay at bay

Aching with no bruise, vena cava's clenching
Heart gushing in resonant clicks. Stomach is a wolf
Scratching at some meat. Reaching, but I fall
Tumbling through the seas. Seas of endless,
Before the first second I saw you,I was incomplete.Deep, but nowhere near seeingTo the bottom of my heart;Immersed in emotion,But not to the pointOf drowning,Slowly and all at once,
If I were shorter, would you love me?Would you tuck me under your armOr notice me even less?
your eyes are filled with longing
to escape your past
and maybe your future too
i thought i'd found love when
we first locked eyes
my heart filled with promise and
desire thinking
Of the train according to the front, after the order of 1000 suns cry eyeball - can all combustion terrace.
Confused
With no one to talk to
I'm so confused
How will I vent to hold down the tears
For no one seems to be here
My mind is so dark and weird
With no one to talk to
I'm so confused
When you're talking about the things you feel,
About how daring can be so unreal.
As I listen with my breaking heart,
Because I don't know where to start.
Thinking it should be only you and me,
Villus burnished chassis still so lush.
Pulchritude soars bound for my sulfur soul.
Sets fire inside to the abandoned brush,
Waiting to fry sitting on beds of coals.
Yet these beds are only simmering skin,
I hold words of eternal affection
promising sweet nothings
and three words carelessly thrown into the wind
into weakening ink
masking the intensity of the bond
never made.
An armistice found in
My only regret is loving too much
And succumbing to your poison touch.
You make me weak with your scent.
My mind’s a haze, my body’s spent.
Your eyes, they cut me down to size,
Its a sad poem with no title. I did it today.
I never wanted it to be like this
Was it an accident?
Was it life giving me a sign?
I've made the decision to throw away my true feelings for you.
It may be difficult, but it is something I must do,
Because you love me,
But you are not in love with me,
and that is something I can't handle.
You and I were the best part, of the worst combination.
I was the sun,
radiant,
passionate,
fiery,
bringing the brightness of a good day to all those that I touch with my glowing beams.
When she lays for bed it is you who runs through her head
Even though the two of you have been apart for so long she doesn’t know how not to hold on
(poems go hewe chose the table to the left that faced the walls of the courtyard
my tea spilled through the cracks like rain in a graveyard
and there were one two one two three grey leaves above us
Let's go to the sea you and me, on the beach we'll both feel free. With the wind blowing lightly and the sun shining brightly, say you'll go with me!
Every time I’m with you,
I feel it building up.
You know I’d never hurt you,
So why not open up?
There was a time I thought there’d be
A little thing called you and me
And now I try and you don’t care
But I can still feel something there
You haunt my mind every day
You plague my dreams but you won’t stay
Such sweetness was in her eyes,
But now her heart is made of ice.
I’ve given her scores of chances,
But at most they end up being glances.
I would have given her my life,
But her apathy cuts like a knife.
