Fearful of being rejected, mocked or scorned, <br />Upon declaring her love to a man she adores, <br />She lives in secrecy. <br />Tortured when ignored by the love of her life, <br />The ignorant, the clueless of her undying love, <br />She survives life. <br />An unrequited love inflicts her heart. <br />A love she holds on to; cannot grow out of. <br />She seems free, but is enslaved. <br />She seems sane, but has gone mad. <br />She is in love, yet feels miserable. <br />She has become a woman, yet remains a girl. <br />A rock on a river bed, she has become, <br />That stays a lifetime, while currents pass.<br /><br />Shushan Artinian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-unrequited-2/
