love unrequited

it was the first day in class,
you came in last.
you searched for a seat
in that moment my heart
skipped a beat.
He was my first love
We started out as a pair
Then became a situationship
It was emotionally unfair.
He knew I loved him
From age 14 to 18
He didn't even love me back
It still felt obscene.
I committed a great crime this spring.
I learned a lesson that I'll not soon forget.
I learned never to fall in love again
If I can help it.
I think about your curls falling on me,
I'm ok now.Mostly, that is.I still think about you.Sometimes it feels like you never left:Stalking the fringes of my dreams.
OutsideFor the first time in a week...
It was surreal to feel the windLightly blow against your cheekAnd amongst the trees...Birdsong
Infected your earsMusic. Symphonies.
He is a beautiful man
As I listen to his stories…
War,
Muslim,
Gay,
Death,
Romance,
Hard work,
He inspires me to be better
I love him, but he doesn’t love me
Heart
Disconnected by these Misconceptions Caused by these failed Recessions.
For my Blessings are not Lessons For your Indiscretion.
I realized through all of my constant trivial mind games that I have come to find one of my very own soul mates. I don’t think I believed until his eyes met mine.
A liquid asset currently in my safe.
In bullet form it can kill a werewolf.
He who has the desired personality type women want.
The color one’s hair turns with age/stress.
I'm tired of being secondAnd never being first.I say I'm fine with the part I playBut man, it really hurts.
Brave or stupid?
Pain now or later?
Dull ache or harsh sting?
They warned me
Guard your heart
But I don't know how
So there it is out there for all to see
I fell for you why didn't you fall for me
the epitome of you:
flirtatious
gentleman
a hell-like paradise
a book with the words scribbled out
blackout poetry?
dear crush
can you hear that?
the sound of my heart
breaking?
breaking like claps
each syllable you spoke to someone else
I still remember what you did,
The continuous pain of loving you.
You never understood me, you open lid.
The lid of a jar to satisfy loneliness I felt too.
But I still hung on for ages
Am I your Gatsby?
Or am I just Gatsby; by himself
without his own flowering bud.
You’re still my Daisy to admire.
But yet still separated, by what bay?
Dear Eric,
The rumors you spread weren’t true.
All I can say is sorry.
It wasn’t suppose to mean anything.
Just a small a crush you weren’t meant to find out.
Please forgive me.
You were so wonderful.
An open letter to The Embodiment of Unrequited Love
You make me doubt myself and go against everything I’ve ever been.
You choke me and provoke me until I let you in.
Like skipping stones
eyes skim across the room.
Thoughts glancing over every face
until finally, a match sparks a fire inside you.
The flames of curiosity and desire burn tenderly.
One petal falls from her lips
One petal lands in her hand
One petal falls to her feet
The rose they come from grows in her lung
She's stuck with this pain
Due to unrequited love
I still find you hair stuck in my car seat's,
and your make up still smeared across my bed sheet's.
I'm waiting out here cause you've got my weak.
My baby, my dear, just come back to me.
You make me love you,You make me hate you,But can't you see
I always get what I want,so stop messing with my head.You can't make me say "I love you too."Even though I do.
Your sweetness,
tender words,
are kisses on my dissected heart.
Scarlet with my idiocy,
a crown of shame.
Fool's fool,
parading in saint's mask
and desire's cloak.
It's late and you are smiling
Your eyes sparkle with mischief.
It's late and you are laughing
A smile flickers across your face
and your eyes meet mine.
My brain is foggy with sleep,
There will come a day when SHE appears.
You will see him in a picture and the hand interlocking his will not be yours.
I don’t eat strawberry-flavored
Candies, save Laffy Taffys or
Starbursts. I don’t eat oranges
Or brown bananas. I’ll only eat
judah
The problem was never
that i didn’t love you
enough
the problem was that i
i have always
loved you too fiercely
Would it please you if at night we were to kissand roll in sweating flames of sounding sighs,tightly tangled the track of time to miss,for time was reset in our merging eyes?Would it please you to be held by my arm
Through the long classes,
filled with intoxicating noise-pollution
and fading attention, we found mutual adoration,
then love.
Remember, my crass stubbornness created us;
Once upon a time,
We were younger and we loved each other.
You loved me freely, for the world to see,
But I had fears so I loved you secretly.
But you should know that I did.
Know that even with the passing time
I whisper your name
But the wind carries it away
You're just a memory
Blowing free
Across the landscape
To light where you may
Or dare
Wherever you land
It just won't be fair
she
was a record
a quote
drafted by
our daily lives
and i
was not aware
she was drunk
on a small girl
The moments pass slowly,
each bringing a new memory
as I lie here, waiting.
The years go by in a heartbeat
and I have learned to measure time by heartbreaks,
still, I am here waiting.
