Unrequited
Is so much more than I can possibly give
My hunger never to be filled in any way, shape, or form like this
…
Afar off alone somewhere out there
Between heaven and earth is a twilight zone
Where unrelenting stands alone
Meeting wayward choices
Listening to scales within sensual voices
Looking for transparency behind every wall
Realizing the end of affection’s beck and call
We’re spinning dizzily until we stumble
Then eventually fall
…
With gaping wounds now throughout my heart
Painfully oozing
My mind blackened and yet never accusing
This lover’s battle soared
And we fought to the losing
Passion in the face of indifference
Was never my choosing
…
Time however shows me a fool
Possessed
Without reasons
Without fuel
Believing little else
Than certainty
In oneself
…
Lessons still learning
Feelings still churning
Some scarring
Some burning
Actions slowly discerning
…
Life without love
An offense too mitigating
Down to nothing
It breaks us
Our lungs breathe
Oxygen continually feeds
Our pulse still beats
While our hearts just bleed
Barely able to concede defeat
…
We’re now just coexisting
Isn’t this at least something?

life without love. Like emptiness inside. Aren't you glad you have love in your heart?

a life without love would be certain death, to me... yes zim, but I'm even more glad for dear friends like you that can see it inside and draw it out of me...

thank you for reading and leaving your smile's footprint behind... Winx.. it's nice to meet you...

The story of my life. . Brilliant :)

hi Sarah... glad to see you can relate, although that means it's really sad for both of us....
