Lying alone on this cold winter's eve <br />My thoughts of you seem never to cease. <br />O, how I long for the feel of your skin! <br />What I wouldn't give to hear your voice again! <br />The sound of my name as it passes those lips... <br />Those lips sealing mine with a passionate kiss... <br />This and much more to you I would give. <br />But I know it won't happen, as long as I live... <br />Why must I long for a love unobtainable? <br />Why must these feelings be so unassailable? <br />You know of my feelings, and still you care not. <br />It seems so unfair to be cast such a lot. <br />You torment me so; my love just grows stronger... <br />I wonder if I can take this for much longer...<br /><br />Elizabeth Sheaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-not-returned-a-heart-that-still-yearns/
