UNREQUITED
A heart misplaced, a love unreturned,
Priority given, where none was earned.
I saw your worth, a light in the gray,
While my own value, faded away.
Thoughts of you lingered, a constant refrain,
But echoes of silence, answered in vain.
Convenience ruled, a fleeting embrace,
My everyday longing, left without trace.
No response met my yearning to know,
My hopes and desires, nowhere to go.
Flaws and secrets, a story untold,
Replaced by whispers, a story of old.
Gossiped and mocked, my spirit subdued,
For less I settled, misunderstood.
But now I rise, with newfound grace,
Knowing my worth, in this sacred space
