Unrequited Love

A dove retires in humble death
A song has lost its tune
A candle dims to waning breath
For sky that hides its moon
An unrequited love so deep
Has stained my heart to red
Instead of joy inducing sleep
Depression shares my bed
Redirected now my heart
Its only path is sorrow
I’ve learned with doubt
to live without
No passions for tomorrow
Unrequited love, kill mine
Your eyes be blind forever 
For now until the end of time
This pain shall I endeavor

Such a sad piece of writing brought to us in such a happy cadence. Hopefully this is just your imagination which I have found to be very vivid in past readings of your work, Nicely done Gayle.
