Unrequited Agony
I can’t move, I can’t breathe
I’m holding on so tight
Tears warm with grief
Paint my pillow every night
The thought of you brings peace
Laced with unrelenting pain
I drink this bitter cup
From which I can’t refrain
How many times can a heart
Crack before it shatters
Shards of broken hope
Pierce the night as they scatter
To love so many times
Only to receive in return
Scars of unrequited agony
And a lesson never truly learned
