Unrequited Love

One sided love affair, oh misery.

Unrequited love weeps

emerald dew

from down turned petals

of black roses

cries out

into denials' abyss

will you not

grant me one kiss

one embrace of passion

from which to fashion

my hearts' bleak

retreat to the shores

of the sea of

loves never to be

Unrequited love is sad. Fear of rejection keeps a lot of people from even taking the first step.

Unfortunately, most of those lost in love lack such eloquence, or they might win her back. Him, on the other hand, is gone...

Longing for return of love that will never be is bleak indeed.. your poem is as sad as it is beautiful.

How sad when love is in a one way direction. Disappointing for the one giving the love freely only to be rejected. You words of passion of willingly giving and not receiving back come out clear, but the heartbreak id felt even more....

Be always safe,
Karen
