Unrequited Love

A Jarkatan guy’s love Filled to the brim Running over to a certain Diosaka Only her under his sun Could seam his torn heart This Diosaka’s love Was already harbored in another’s heart With vows in marriage It wasn’t possible for her to fall again But zikra’s heart was in intense heat To win over the already won love To no avail He burned red hot for her But her rejecting stand Pulled his falling To a tether end And he decided to fight it Fire by fire He embraced himself with petrol To quench the burning emotion Out of his hot heart With a match for his ‘match’ He was kissed by tongues of flames And died by the fire of love This poem was harvested from a sad story in the daily paper, where an Indonesian guy from Jakarta tried his best to win love of a married lady, but her unyielding drove him mad to dose himself with petrol and stroke a match. He died in the fire.
