Best Poems Written by Kendra Mccoy

Unrequited Love

The name engraved in my heart
Arteries pump a yearning chemical
The soul craves his breath
Weighing down my every move 
The mind bound to retention
Of intimacy and passion

Yet His Heart is translucent
His body craves no touch of mine
His eyes continue to hold light
He remains extant,
Like I am no longer a being

I am no longer a being
Without his love I am just matter
A grey cloud lingering over the unobtainable 
A minuscule drop of oil in a body of water,
That will never touch.
