For the Unrequited

so very bland....ah wells...crappy poem coming right up

Another day, where my heart still will ache
More so than any other for the rose you hold
The rose of love professed by many others
So many that my voice is drowned within
You’ll never know the pain I have to bear
The desire I have, subdued for you alone
For I can never have that which I want
You, belonging to those of nobler birth
Whilst I am tainted blood beneath your feet
You will not know my need for you inside
I will not let you see the hurt embedded
You deserve that with your innocence
A love which can be held under the light
I am the darkness, hiding in the shadows
But I know that all my suffering and pain
Means you will have your man of choice
And with your choice do I have faith in
For he must be worth more than me
Yet I cannot sit whilst you ignore me
I will now leave, disperse and scatter
My heart was broken, shattered to pieces
Give me some time to heal the wounds
One day I’ll come back to your side
I’ll help you choose a man of worth
One that you can be partnered with
One who will love you, cherish you
And I will live through this man of yours
So close yet ever so very far away…
