unrequitted -- a poem by me

[jakey_star]

I know its a little soppy and cliche but i guess it's how I really feel for a certain someone


unrequitted

I see my world within your eyes
your smile could light the darkest skies
i'd give my dying breath for you
my heart and sole belong to you


beneath my chest there is an ache
I don't know how much I can take
a saddened truth that cripples me
you and I will never be


you're so much more than what i'm worth
yet still i'd give you all the earth
all my mind my heart my sole
so much more than you'll ever know


i'll never be the one for you
you'll never feel the way I do
you'll never look into my eyes
and say they light the darkest skies


i'll never be handsome, never be thin
i'll never have you, i'll never win
but Its too late now, i took the fall
i saw your face and saw it all


I felt your warmth, your loving way
and now the thoughts won't go away


i hope you find the one for you
somone who'll love you like I do
a pretty thing, unlike me
the person that i've longed to be


and though my heart is broke in two
all that matters to me is you
and so I hope you find love true
while I spend my life in love with you.....
and only you, forever and a day.

Soppy poems are usually the truest ones. Being in love with someone you can't have has got to be the most exquisite form of torture.

I didn't know we had this forum. If you're brave enough to post in it, I can be too. I don't write anymore (since I got broken), but I used to and I just found a poem while digging through boxes and getting rid of stuff.

unrequitted love is the most painful thing i've ever had to go through and to make things more complcated he's a straight cis guy so even if (and this is wishful thinking) he did return some feelings for me I'm not sure how he'd take it when I finally come out. still, in a strange way If I had the choice to stop feeling that way about him I'd say no. at least i'm lucky enough to have him as a friend.

I found this forum just by exploring the whole site and this jumped out at me i'm forever writing. whatever I feel goes down on paper. even from an early age I carried notebooks with me and wrote down everything I see. maybe i'll dig up some of my other stuff and post more on here.

I hope you do post some of your own poetry i'd like to read them

I think I know how you feel.

This past September was my 23rd and final wedding anniversary. The woman who I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with cannot be married to another woman, and she fell out of love with me. The divorce will be final as of 8 February 2012.

But, I would not have changed the time we've had together for anything, even though this tears me apart.

i'm very sorry to hear that. I guess it can be hard for others to come to terms with what we're going through, and if she truly cannot commit herself to seeing you through these changes then it is unfortunate but he fact she was upright and clear with you about it shows she still cares. I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling and I send warm hugs. I hope the two of you at least stay friends and that someday you, and all of us for that matter, will find someone so amazing they will accept you regardless of who you are and how you feel.

Yep I'm like that too. I no longer put things on paper, but I did from a young age until only recently. I'm sure you'll notice my prolixity in some of my posts. It's a funny way to think and live. And lol when I was a kid people always thought I was up to something, because I was always had my notebook too.

We're trying to make this as a friendly a divorce as possible. We're both upset but we're both trying. She doesn't hate me, and I don't hate her. And, our kids don't hate us either.

So, while it's not good, it could be much much worse.
