reward takes umbrage 
      true unrequited kindness

Unrequited love
Love not returned the same way
My intensity
Not felt by your tender heart
Love is something you don’t know

Look-back's lament
undetected signs went

golden earrings
too extravagant she said
turning back on love

announced intentions
pouring his heart out to her
she turn and fled

She
became
an echo
to another's 
voice-
he,
in love
with himself
transformed by a
gaze.

I gave you my all
the harsh moon cast its shadow
Silence filled the air

Love unrequited
eyes shed tearsdrops of fire
unable to stop

What is felt without end by one and is fleeting for the other, is sometimes contained in the mind, but can cause terrible pain in the heart.

They sat one across from the other
Neither could move closer nor further
	She winked at Jack
	And he winked back
Their unrequited love asunder

Cinderella dreamt of heights
of beauty in the city sights,
true love amongst the neon lights
away from the imagined slights
of unrequited love.

Confused

confused?

misplaced love,
unrequited love 

new friends,
lost lovers 

lost lovers, 
old friends

when will this race end?
no one knows.

She Whispered To Cupid

She whispered to Cupid

She whispered to Cupid;
"It pains me
For the 'unrequited love'
And even more painful
Because of 'betrayed in love' ... "

taste my pencil fingers.
can you taste the poem I wrote for you?
the poems I may still write?
why the sour look?
tastes like scat?
sorry wrong hand.

The Unanswered Call

My weary pen indites a weary plea,
To thee, who turn'st away eternally.
No deep response,no answer to my soul-
Then set me free, or let me cease to be.

You don't owe me anything---
not installments of lost time,
not a diamond ring.
We take our chances
on romance. Is
unrequited love a crime?

The worst of love's thoughts is that which lies unreciprocated...

Premium Member A Lament to My Muse

Though many those who court the muse,
There's only few that she will choose.
I wish that my light
Could shine here more bright,
But love unrequited's the news.

     Gasping folds of pain
     glued together - coexist
     Exclusive cracked glass
     unrequited conundrums -
          ... rhapsodies whirled infinite

Unrequited

Am I that much impenetrable,
or does he deliberately refuse to describe?
Why do I have heard all that he never said,
but he fails to realise what I have inscribed?

Yearning

To be under the same sky
To be made of the same elements
To have admired the same moon
To have crossed paths 
To know that we're both made of stardust
Isn't that enough?

All I hoped for from you, was you realizing the innocence 
Of my love for you sooner. All I shall keep hoping for...
You sincerely realizing how heavy my heart has been since.

Winds Amongst Trees

Winds amongst trees
Fondlers, fickle-fingered!
Of a long hair
Loose hangs; and fair.

A wraith's those screams.
Lust-life's unrequited.
Listen in, nights.
And O! Delights.

Premium Member An Unrequited Love Prolonged

It seems not even your own God could answer my prayer,
Truth be told, he may have someone for you that is better.
Even after you have moved on, my love is still getting stronger.

Premium Member Unrequited Love

The monster wanted love from the maiden
And gold that the townspeople paid him
When it came time to collect
Him the maiden did reject
To contain his wrath none could persuade him
