Although He's Near

We spend the hours in tinge of pale There's nothing just quite right-- And neutral moments that prevail Grow dimmer come twilight. Although he's near the inky hues Burst like my distant coos: While this pained heart bears all I feel his cold of eyes diffuse. Shall we grate hours in tinge of pale? Dear Life, let me request, The tiny stars to dance away Above the moonlit crest. Yet longing hands and warm embrace Can't fill his icy space-- How one-way is this love As I go falling out of grace. --------------------- Contest: Having a love for someone and it not being returned 3/22/2017

The "cold of eyes" is so true and chilling. Your words certainly express the feeling well. It's beyond sad that a heart meant for life and love could be so 'lifeless'. Wonderful writing nette :-) lynnxxx

This sad write goes beyond the scope of unrequited love. This person seems to lack the ability to love, cold and distant. A great poem.

Unrequited love is a drag. Yet as the song goes "but for someone you adore it's a pleasure to be sad". Peace & Love Matthew Anish
