<h1>Unrequited</h1>

You hold onto her words, precious as pennies

And treasure the beam of her smile

You find meaning in the phrases she speaks

So sublime and unique in their style

She captures your heart and she captures your soul

And she fills you with burning desire

Until you can only shout out your frustration

And fan the flames of the fire

And you know...

...you know...

Any truth that you sought had its consequence

But your mind sought its own relief

For anything resembling reality was

But a cancer in the heart of your belief

When those dumb words were finally spoken

And the meaning turned clear as glass

Any final casting of those ragged bones

Was the final bemoaning of love that’s come to pass

And you know...

Because it cuts your soul

Those jagged cuts

This love

Unrequited.
