Unrequited
I can’t compete
With wealth own,
I must retreat,
Live life alone.
He’s with you,
I am not.
Hope fell through,
Another dream shot.
Won’t hold hands,
Share a heart.
Won’t make plans,
Grow old apart.
Reached the end,
Wish for more.
Hard to pretend,
I still adore.
Must not lament
Over my scar;
Must be content,
Love from afar.
