Rebecca Vitale Poet I do not know?

A Life Unanswered

How is it
You were completely unaware
That the innocence that laced 
The edge of my being was 
Brutally unraveled 
each time you spoke my name?
Why is it 
that the feelings that were 
reserved 
for you never found their way 
across my lips to caress you 
as they should have?
When was it that I 
finally succumbed
to my inevitable truth?
That as I long for you,
You course through her
Because I never learned
to fight for 
what I wanted.
How can it be that
though I tried,
I was never the one 
who lit you up like 
July fireworks 
and
I was nothing more to you 
than the whisper of a friendship 
that had no meaning.
