The Pain of Unrequited Love

In the darkness of the night,

My tears fall like raindrops.

For I am plagued by a love unrequited,

And my heart is torn apart.

I loved you with a passion,

That consumed my very soul.

But you never saw me as more than a friend,

And my love for you took its toll.

I watched you as you loved another,

And it broke me piece by piece.

For I knew that I could never be with you,

And my heart longed for release.

But still I held on to the hope,

That maybe someday you'd see.

The love that burned so fiercely within me,

And we could finally be.

But that day never came,

And my heart was left in tatters.

For the love I felt for you,

Was never meant to matter.

So now I must move on,

And let my heart heal in time.

For the pain of unrequited love,

Is a burden that's hard to climb.

But though my heart may ache,

And my tears may fall like rain.

I'll hold on to the memories of you,

And the love that brought such pain.
