Broken Hearted

BROKEN HEARTED

I loved greatly a man 
Who loved me not 
I offered all I had to no avail

I fell head over heels
I acted foolishly 
And now I pay dearly 

To love and 
to not be loved in return
Is a grievous assault on my emotions 
My heart is mangled
My mind is in turmoil

I know not which way to go
Or what to do
A desolate man I am
For the love I craved
Was never given me 

A series of heartbreaks littered our tango
The fantasy in my mind blotted 
All but what I wished to hear 
See 
Or feel
I was as ignorant as I truly wanted to be 

My hopes have been cauterized from my psyche
Reality now inflicts severe trauma 
Maiming me 
I now see that my love has no reciprocity

Alone I am now
Still wishing you would come back to torment me
I crave any contact 
I can regain with you
How I wish I could banish my loneliness 
And find myself close to you 

A broken heart I will ever have 
I will pine to eternity 
For more than the friendship 
You never offered me
