Unrequited Love
My love for you is an addiction, my devotion my noose
clinging to delusion makes me struggle for breath
to fill my aching lungs, I must cut my desire loose
Outwardly you love me, but it’s what’s inside that bears weight
my shameless attempts to woo you, stain a barren portrait
my love for you is an addiction, my devotion my noose
I hunger for a love that is undeniably unrequited
suffocated by the harsh reality, shadows consume me
to fill my aching lungs, I must cut my desire loose
my love for you is an addiction, my devotion my noose
