Unrequited Love

You most definitely wonder what can be more toxic in a relationship without being in a relationship. The answer is unrequited love. You are in love!

But that one person whose air your lungs want to breathe and your ears are dying for their heartbeat to listen is not in love with you. It´s in love with someone else or maybe, not in love at all.

You are shredded into a million pieces every moment you close your eyes, feel their touch, their soft, loving voice, and when you open your eyes, there's nothing there. Nothing at all. Just the void. The loneliness.

But let me tell you something. What about those to whom your love is addressed? How do they perceive such an avalanche of feelings when they don't feel the same, or have no clue about it. There is so little written about them. Is it their fault that you are so in love that everything hurts? Are they supposed to force themselves to love you?

My answer is: that none of those options is an answer. Maybe you will see it differently when you read my poem. And let it sink for a while.

Unrequited love

Sometimes I believe the grey mist

It’s a portal to the beginnings of the world

Where the sea and time just kissed

And the unrequited love was hurled.

In the storm of pain for not being answered

Praying for the decency of merciful lies

Broken pieces of heart got canceled

Where the wind´s gone, the smile dies.

The colors don’t sing, the music doesn´t shine

The paradox of nothing into something new

In the grey mist, you’ll never be mine

The unrequited love belongs to the blue.
