Unrequited

Unrequited

I have loved you for so very long…
Year by year
Decades pass

And yet, I know not of you


You spark my soul
A flame that lights up the darkness of my life
Filling me up with joy unknown

And yet, I know not of you


You take my breath away
My heart jumps in a glorious warmth
Happy am I when in your presence
And yet, I know not of you

You are kind in spirit
Goodness exudes your actions and words
Knowing me in my depths
And yet, I know not of you

You are honorable
Oblivious of my admiration
Blind to my desires
And yet, I know not of you

You torment me
Shaming me in wanting you
Punishing me with the unattainable

And yet, I know I want you


I have loved you for so very long…
Year by year
Decades pass
And I will never know you
