Unrequited Love
A seething passion bathes my soul
 And lights my eyes
 
 For you
 
 But you don’t know that
 
 
 So much raw feeling
 Uncorrupted love
 Tumults in my heart
 The huge throbbing lump
 
 Pumps this passion mercilessly to ever corner
 
 Of me
 
 But you don’t know that
 
 Your eyes are carefree
 Your smile holds nothing
 Your visage hints at nothing
 
 That I want to see
 
 And I think I might melt if you smile again
 
 O curse this emotion
 That brings as much pain as it does happiness
 Almost as much
 
 My veins course with sadness
 But my heart pumps joy
 
 Because why should I be said in the face of a first love?
 
 O curse this emotion that makes me long for a glimpse of you in the rushing crowds that don’t have time for love
 O curse it! 
 And maybe then I would not grow fainthearted at your accidental touch
 
 How could you do this to me!
 How could you not know, not feel
 The tension I can feel
 How can you look into my eyes and not see, not feel 
 The light that will forever burn for you in my soul!
 It is radiating off me every second of every day
 And you can’t feel what I feel
 And you can’t see me the way I see you
 How could you not!
 
 I wonder if you ever will?
