Unrequited - Part I
(Unrequited Love)
Written by TRU Essence
she popped into my head
I don't want to think about her
but she's there
raven hair, deep eyes and peach lips as soft and shimmering as the sunlight dancing upon the ripples of deep water
taking up space in my thoughts
space reserved for holding the secret of the universe
the space reserved for love and love reciprocated
she just strolls in and without a word, commands my attention
I should feel, I don't know
joy?
happiness?
desire, maybe?
but, alas, I feel rejection,
fear, shame and, to some extent, chastened
what did I do wrong, other than be myself?
am I wrong?
not in deed or speech; thoughts or feelings
but am I wrong for being myself?
the me that I think I am or the me that I think I want to be
the taste of rejection is bitter, no sweet
I cringe to think my thoughts became audible
now she knows
she knows what has been hidden for so long and
it has been dismissed as folly
she walked away with my soul and never turned around
to see me fall to the ground
