Best Love Unrequited Poems


Love Unrequited
Love unrequited, so much time wasted
Woman so splendid, what you always wanted
Heart that got busted, wouldn’t get mended
Too much expended, it ended before it started
Feeling so taunted, your mind is haunted
By the memories of your love unrequited


For ATP, my love unrequited
JEB...

the harsh moon cast its shadow
Silence filled the air

unable to stop...

Love Unrequited
I who once was beguiled by shallow love,
Like love-god Cupid did make a wrong choice,
While youthful mind of mine loveless did starve
Of wanton sport that had a transient voice.
 
All furtive joy spring from unconscious guilt,
That grieve me, and no longer have their worth,
The tower...

Unrequited love,
My dandelion wishes, 
Eyelash desires,
Infatuation’s dire,
And in my heart burns a fire....

A Love Unrequited
Deep within my heart, a love abides,
For the man of my dreams, my soul confides.
Yet, though he tends to my every need,
His affection falls short, a wound indeed.

Each passing day, my yearning grows,
Every part of me, longing shows.
But amidst the care, a pain I find,
His...

Premium Member You Don'T Know Me
A million whispered moments pass
as I watch you glide through the crowd,
your measured steps so gracefully danced,
a coy kiss placed upon my cheek,
as you spin in place with each movement.

But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a...

Unrequited Love
Not by chance do I find myself
Awake in the dead of night; caught by fright.
The stinging pangs of a grace far from touch.
Are you real? Why such longing?
How and why do you make my heart sing so loud?

God I love you, want you and feel...

A love potion meant for her high school beau
She mistakenly spilled in my Latte to-go
With my passions on fire
When I expressed my desire
She replied "You're a bit too old, Romeo"
               ...

He grips so tightly to her warmth
with fears that this will be their last
encounter until God knows when -

When will we reunite once more?

He, lost in limerence - summer -
She ran as fast as the leaves fell;
now he...

Maybe In Another Universe
Maybe in another universe, you’re mine. 

Our lives are intertwined. 

 

Maybe in another universe, you see all the tears I’ve cried,  

all my delusional sleepless nights. 

Wondering what would happen if I just told you. 

Would you kiss me in the rain and...

Unsaid Things
The moment your voice fell on these ears, they didn't knew the melody it was about to become
Come days, the sight of you to my eyes, caused a joy as a kid would feel when won a prize
Slowly and steadily, you somehow manage to spread...

Game
all this while
I had been knocking at your door
waiting for you to traverse the space
from your locked room to the door front 
take the keys from the door side table 
and let me in

and all this while
in being the knocker
I forgot to lock my home

Catatonia, Collapse, Abiding Love
I kneel, bow, and make myself into 
A rock to ask God, 
King of the Universe, 
Give me the amateur. 
Hear my cries, Lord our God, 
And give me him. 

I plead, beg, and erode 
My rough edges; 
Almighty One, 
I want this one to...

To the love I never had
My love for you is Agape
It has no reason 
Though it isn't reciprocate 
To me, it has deep meaning 

My love for you has no season
It is the unending rush of a waterfall 
The eternal blossom of the wild pumpkin
It can never fade and never...

Unspoken
You see me
Without looking in my eyes
I hear you
Without speaking your truth

You touch me
Without using your hands
I love you
Without saying those words

You move me
Without pushing 
I miss you
Without trying

You are with me
Without having you near
I am with you
Without being the one...
