Unrequited Love
On seeing her smile, I fight off a tear,
for unrequited love's my secret hurt.
And because it's love, it'll not bend to fear,
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,
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's like a silent scream,
and it's disparaging to the extreme.
