Musings of Love

When I see her smile, I fight off a tear, for unrequited love's a secret hurt. Because it's love, it'll never disappear, often disguised as an innocent flirt. Is there a more unintentional pain than loving someone who rejects your love? My heart is twisted in knots by the strain as I confess my shame to God above. Though I want to let go, my heart cries no, so I keep the dream alive in my mind. And I play, pretend, so she'll never know when it comes to other women, I'm blind. Unrequited love is a silent scream that is disparaging to the extreme.
