unrequited love burns,
it burns you to the core.
unrequited love hurts,
it hurts your very soul.
unrequited love is painful
disappointing
unkind
difficult
i ask, what is wrong with me?
i ask, is it something I did?
i ask, is it the way I look?
i ask, what is it about me that means you can’t love me?
but then I think, is it me or is it you?
but then I think what if it is me?
but then I think maybe I’ll be okay, maybe it’s for the best.
but then I think if it is me, what is it?
spiralling
spiralling
spiralling
confused.
sad.
insecure.
who knew love could be this way?
so distressing.
so sore.
so heart breaking.
so lonely.
lonely.
lone.
i am alone
in this love.
this lonely love.
alone
and
heartbroken
in this unreciprocated love
this unrequited love
this lonely love.
