Unrequited Love
The love you planted is now fully grown,
in the soil of my heart it has blossomed.
It is a shame that your love has now flown,
into the heart of another’s bosom.
What did she have that I did not offer?
What could she possess that I could not claim?
Is it my fault you turned to another?
Is it my fault? Am I the one to blame?
No! It was you that evoked these emotions.
The words that were spoken deceitful lies.
I wish to kill my love and devotions,
but the flower that blossomed will not die.
I hope in time this blossom will wither.
Die a cruel death from your loveless winter.
