Best One Sided Poems


Premium Member One-Sided Love

How do you give solace to a girl with a broken heart
when your heart has not yet mended from her falling in love with him?

How do you answer her questions for advice
when you know the best advice to give further damages your chance?

How do you lend a shoulder for her to cry on
when your entire body aches to embrace her lovingly?

How do you listen to her plans for making up
when you wish your friendship could be replaced by romance?

Silently, you suffer the torture of one-sided love.
Stoically, you pretend to be happy as her friend.
Selflessly, you let her go when you desperately want her to stay.
Stupidly, you swallow those three words you want to say.

You try convincing yourself you are happy by her happiness,
even though her happiness with another makes you depressingly sad.

You wear the mask of a brother-like relative
even though the jealously is driving you mad.

To leave her far behind would mean your freedom and your end.
Never to know her as a lover, you will suffer lonely as a friend.

One Sided Love

she makes my heart quiver
she understands me more
at the mention of her name my body did shiver
but my feelings is developing into a deep sore

she wants me not,i'm not her type
she's far richer and cute
i use facebook,she uses skype
at the sight of her,i become mute

i told her how i felt
she laughed and discarded it as a joke
i hope that she would soon melt
even if i'm rich or broke

this piece i write from my heart
with the hope and humility of a dove
and i pray we would come together never to depart
and put an end to this one sided love

One Sided Love

One Sided Love...

Her dazzling saccharine smile...
Her tremendously appealing hairstyle...
Her varicoloured melodious voice...
Her serene coruscating eyes...

Oh, this excruciating one-sided love
When will it be a felicitous two-sided love?
One-sided love is sore and two-sided love is treacly
Just you know, one-sided love is not ugly

Do you have any idea how thrilling it is here?
Pretending like the sky and sea is crystal clear
While the clouds and waves are always in rage
The heart that forever remains mystery like Stonehenge

Have you slept with this atypical feeling on your face?
Being the cushy grass beneath her gentle paces
Being her true-blue shadow when she's striding lonely
Being her hyaline-like tears when she's crying sadly

Have you ever thought of the benefits?
This innocent feeling will never cease to exist
Gratify each other's desire, the end of two-sided love
Awaiting her one cherished smile, the fun of one-sided love

Wondering how to survive this thunder strikes? 
There is no rose in this world without incisive spikes
For you, maybe its like a pathetic worthless war
For us, its a struggle severer than star wars

Whats a love without a forfeit?
One-sided Love is a love without deceit
You don't need to prove it with a receipt 
You can always be in conceit!


One-Sided Romance

I put you on a pedestal;
You take me down a notch.
I love you with an aching heart,
You know it never stops.
You are my one my only,
You probably have a few.
Well, today, I think I’ll say
I really don’t need you.

The One Sided View

seeing from the outside of your story, hearing the words you use,
only knowing what you tell me, only seeing your point of view,
the hearts exaggeration without acknowledging our part,
you know, the part of the story from the others view, and how your words affected their heart,
this is the part where it gets twisted and influences the outsiders view,
because they don't know the other person, they only just know you,
i've seen the selling argument that wants you to sympathize,
please justify these feelings, understand me, and take my side,
i can't stand standing in the middle when it wasn't my experience with you,
i will erase in my mind what you told me, and start out with you brand new,
where your heart was at in that moment is not where it is now,
your in a different time and place, with new experiences to be found,
shift your concentration and live your life to be,
experience new experiences.....experience them with me.

.                                           What a fool I am
                                    Clinging to a broken dream
                                     That can never be the same

                                           Coming all this way
                                Thinking I could change your mind
                                   Oh! so true that love is blind

                                            Sitting here alone
                                      Starring at an empty chair
                                  That throws the truth in my face

                                         It hurts! To love you
                                 So I’ll board the morning train
                                     And forget you once again.

The Power of One Sided Love

There are two sides to a story,
A truth and a lie;
I will perish no religion,
What shall come ahead,
I will fight hard to survive;
I would make a secret potion,
That I have brewed in my mind;
It is a wild poison,
That I shall drink every night;
I know it isn't random,
For some spark to ignite;
The power of one sided love,
Shall jubilate the night sky.
I will pray at the church,
I would want him to be mine;
The feeling of contentment,
To look at him;
Standing on the street,
Flawlessly fine;
A blessing from the Heaven,
The brightest star in the sky;
I could be in denial,
I know it's surreal,
To want him by my side;
I could be selfless,
For the love that shall invoke,
Some sense into my mind;
Giving life to this body,
Through emotions that are divine;
I could beg for his mercy,
I am done with the crying;
A liberation from this Hell;
A rescue from this plight;
But the saga of one sided love,
Has defeated the repentance of time;
I wouldn't mind shedding a few tears,
The hail and the rain,
Shall pour altogether,
The thunder would rise;
But he would be the calmness,
Pertaining in the wild;
It might be dangerous,
To veil the thunder,
I would not be a coward,
Hiding in disguise.
It is satisfactory,
To watch him breathe the air;
I would want to be the reason he smiles,
How could someone be so beautiful;
Enchanted and alive?
A glimpse of the Universe,
In those captivating eyes;
I would need an antidote,
To escape it for a while;
The magic of one sided love,
I wouldn't dare to try.
I could keep creating,
Prose to describe;
How we fit together,
Our spirits intertwined;
The heartache shall be my renaissance,
The lust and desire;
Every last ounce of hope is a sin,
A toxin in my vein;
That would cripple my heart into pieces,
To gently remind;
The saga of one sided love,
Has always been unkind.

Premium Member A One Sided Love Affair

Such beauty that I see in you,
white feathers gleam in misty dew.
Above the water’s sparkling edge,
I see you stand amongst the sedge.

You think that I don’t see you there
and sway like reeds in open air.
Your heart I wish for us to share,
I know inside you really care.

Please let this be a loving start
and never more to be apart,
the feelings that we both could share,
much more than just a love affair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I see you swim beneath the wave,
my life I know that you will save.
Now quick I reach for you and then 
it’s down my throat it’s you I’ll send.

My One Sided Love For Him

Love that I had & have, 
Doesn't seem to fade soon.
The violin that plays in my heart,
This string never does it untune.

Your one glance at me, 
In every way, lights up my world.
Your glance if lasts more than two seconds, 
Ah! Spellbound I be!
I sway, I dance, my eyes glitter
& I pass my days dreaming,
To be in your arms.
In la-la land, myself I tend to see.

Questioning my one sided love,
Is no more pleasurable. 
Now I rather notice and live, 
The power of this emotion,
Which sure is immeasurable.

This love is sure loyal,
None can betray it, 
Not even thee.
This love is mine,
None can take it, 
Or outshine.

I say it again & again that, 
I love thee & that I do! 
It doesn't die, 
Even if you show me days so blue.
With each passing year, 
This love adds a brand new hue,
To one day form a rainbow,
For you to cause a remembrance, 
Of pure love & a girl, 
Who was madly in love,
Despite knowing the odds
& that it can never make do!

One-Sided Mirror

I'm staring at you through tinted glass
you can't see me through this glass

on your side all you see is you
ironically, it's all my side sees too

i watch as you turn to the mirror beside
re-apply makeup, true nature you hide

you are someone you weren't meant to be
I can see you but you can't see me

you look into my eyes but see your own
all I want is to bring you home

One-Sided Affair

Are you mad at me  
or are you mad at the fact 
that you never noticed? 
Although You felt 
an unbearable  pain
you never considered 
my emptiness and desolation

Time after time we bicker
and you preach
about what you believe is true
but how could you know
if you never asked me 
Why I did what i did

Yet you blamed me 
and said it was all 
my fault
As i watch our friendship end 
all the warm memories 
become the distant past

And you never opened your  eyes 
to realize 
why i cried the tears i cried
if had only asked.

Yet, I See a One-Sided Feelings, Smiling

Prayers dedicated to shadowy redemption
Would you be a pure innocent whiteness?
On the brink of a severe storm;
Would you be a calm, friendly conversation?
If I am but a hesitant , immeasurably responsible soul;
Would you relieve that responsibility?
If I am a question mark in the writing of us
Would you be the explanatory foot-note?

Me, you or we
Split or scattered like isolated islands;
If gusty wind threatens to blow away forever
Would you be the power to reassign it?
You and I are but a prefix of a conversation
Would you be the enlighten effort to focus it to primetime?

Dogs and human , fight in my haunted dreams
I see vultures, waiting for the inevitable end of silence
Yet, I see a one-sided feelings, smiling
Standing on the pulpit of the innermost soul
Holding a pen and white paper;
Risking to the utmost degree of life.

Premium Member Gone One Sided

Love gone one sided just happened along.  It's a tell of a real sad 
song.
A flood of tears stream down your face.  Unable to relate to feelings we once 
used to reciprocate.
Don't cry, do to me, soon I will be just a distant memory.
It's not by chance we had this May/December romance.
We must break this off to exist in our own dimensions.
Soon you will pull it together and weep no more.
Realizing you weren't just one of my scores, you were one I really did adore.
I thought our lives would be spent together forever.
Now, by looking in your eyes I must just have fantasized.
Maybe being so young made me want to run.  Don't take it to heart as I depart.
Leaving you alone to exist on your own.
It's like jumping from a frying pan into a fire, it's a Pain no one desires.
I don't want it now, I don't need it now. so just let me alone to go off on my own.

Abcs of a One-Sided Love Mr

A lazy afternoon 
And an empty classroom.
As I’m about to fall asleep,
At the same time
I fell for you.

“Because” you look
Beautiful in my eyes, and
Because of then, I’ve been getting
Butterflies at the glimpse of you doing what you
Love, making me fall for you even harder.

Catching a glimpse from time to time,
‘Cause it’s the same way you
Caught my heart. You
Can hear it racing, If only I could make 
You feel the same way.

So that the roses in my heart could bloom so 
Much so you could notice it.

One Sided Love

I really have this urge to tell you something
it probably isn't anything too deep
and though I sit and reminisce about our love life 
this question in my brain won't let me sleep

Do you think you love me or don't you? 
Have you even thought about our situation? 
You excuse my doubts with undue concern
'cause they only tend to cause you complications.

I gotta bring myself to one realization
that you may not even like me anymore
and when I finally tell you what I am about to
any love you had for me will wander far

I still adore you love, though I can't find it
but somehow I still know that it's right here.
So please don't show your irritation for me
when I beg for your attention through my tears

I guess I could go on writing forever
but you have your life to live
and I have mine
I just wanted to stop and tell you
'thank you'
for the love I thought was both of ours through time
