Unrequited Love

A glimpse at the heart of one who fell in love with a dear friend

Anxiety is creeping in as I wish away my wish for you.

The dichotomy of thirsting for more yet desiring to stay stagnant

Is eating away at my heart like a vulture that's been circling its prey for a lifetime

And finally the moment has come when the great bird has plunged into my very soul.

So I lie here, feeling the essence of me being unraveled like an infinite string

As painful as a blade in my back by the hands of a long cherished love.

Because that’s exactly what you are.

But your innocence and naivety are what prohibit you from seeing the pain you cause as I earnestly grasp for your affection.

Although those are the things I love most about you.

When I see you next, the pain will dissipate, just like always.

Until the next moment without you, when it comes rushing back like water after its protective dam breaks.

And the cycle will continue until an inevitable end:

Either your love will fulfill me, or lack thereof will kill me.

Love can be a the utopia of a life and the hell-bend highway of a life. Both writer and poet need never ending seed for their writing.
