A Loveless Pain

Eyes icy as ever
Staring into the midnight moon
Not a single movement
Off in her own world.
It’s the story of her life.
She can no longer feel.
For she had been hurt so very much.
All she had wanted was to find love.
Each time she was let down.
She was told not to lose hope
To never give up.
And so she didn’t
And she always ended up disappointed.
It finally hit her one day…
It was never going to happen.
She was never going to find love.
She was destined to be alone.
It pained her so horribly.
She stayed in bed for days.
Staring at the ceiling.
Crying her eyes out.
Screaming out loud.
All she wanted was love.
But now she knew it was never going to happen.
A part of her died inside.
Everyone continued to tell her to think positive.
But she could no longer put herself through that pain.
Her icy eyes still unmoved as she stands there still watching
The midnight moon. 
She built a wall to get rid of the pain.
Although emotionless and heartless, 
At least the pangs of unrequited love will never bother her again.
