Unrequited Love

They say love is bliss when shared by two but what if the one you love doesn't love you too?
So, there you were...
A zestful figure of flickering vibrations
Whispering enchanting hymns replete with passion
Like a soaring phoenix heralded by the tides
Relentlessly flying through the azure skies.

And there I was...
A searching shadow at sundown
A sojourner on a forlorn mound
Streamlined with ingenious fallible innocence
Only to submit with resisting acquiescence.

Then Cupid struck my heart...
Oh! My heart melted and liquefied with fervor
Oblivious to the quibble of other people's rancor
Bearing and forbearing the torments of sullen reality
I was swept with the turbulence of a love fantasy.

And then...
A realization came to hit my deepest core
Staggering my brains out and shaking my soul
As pang slowly vanquishes all that's left in me
Captivating my unfulfilled dreams into a vain reality.

Then, bah!
My heart began to speak earnestly
"What must I do to open your eyes and make you see?
Till death must I struggle to make you love me?"
Then my spirit broke and my sepulcher laid lifeless of a broken heart
Realizing your love was never mine right from the very start...
