Unrequited
    By Gen X


    What can be done with a love not returned?
    Emotions, she does reject and deny.
    My heart aches when my affections are spurned,
    Each time I’m wondering, why do I try?

    But when I see her, my heart always knows.
    Fire for hair, emeralds as eyes, her looks,
    Her beauty stunning, she just seems to glow
    She’s kind and fun, wise in life, smart with books

    Patient, also, we’ve danced, walked, and swung along,
    She is my everything. She is my light.
    She’s impulsive and honest and headstrong.
    She’s stubborn as well and there lies my plight.

    Each time hope begins it’s always undone;
    Will love be over before it’s begun?
