The Unloved
Those of us who give the love we wished we could receive
Some people just aren’t meant to be loved
They can love others and be in love but never loved themselves
Some people are meant to be the catalyst to finding the true you
The ones that listen to your heart ache
Advise you in your times of trouble
All the while desperately hoping that you’d notice their pining for you
The ones cheering you on from the sidelines but never getting the credit
We have kind faces and even kinder eyes, we are attentive listeners and have soft tones
We somehow always know what to say
And how to comfort
We pass on what we wish had been said to us
We laugh on cue and shed tears with you when you’re grieving
We’re the shoulder to cry on and the stern word needed to get you going again
But somehow we are never the last thing you think of before your eyes close
We are a minor character to aid the development of yours
Just a place to vent and know you’ll be heard
Some people just aren’t meant to be loved
No matter how desperately they wished they were
