Unrequited Love

When I see her smile, I fight off a tear: for unrequited love's a secret hurt. And because it's love, it'll not bend to fear, oft disguising 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, asking for forgiveness from God above. I want to let go, but my heart cries no, so the dream is kept 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.
