Unrequited Love Quietly she sits in longing Quietly she sits in wait Who is she to venture from here? Who is she to tempt her fate? Minutes seem to pass like hours Hours seem to pass like days Still she sits here waiting for him She's left her life in many ways Darkness soon starts to surround her Daylight it is fading fast Not believing he isn't coming She clings only to the past It's been years since he has left her Still she sits and waits for him Watches as the night surrounds her Waits as daylight soon grows dim In her mind she sees him with her Dressed up in his suit of black This is love so unrequited She can't see he won't be back So the woman waits in silence Spends her final days this way While the man sits with his family Watching all his kids at play Promises he once had told her Long forgotten in the past Still she waits, for she believed him When he said their love would last She spends her days recalling memories While pictures of them hang above Is there no such sadder story... Than that of unrequited love? ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |
