Requiem of an Unrequited Love
Though you treat me bad
Ugliness, anger, disgust………. is all your eyes show
This autumn suddenly has a distinctly grayish hue,
We all know the reason why
Mr. Cupid you can take a bow
History is replete with lovers calls gone unheard
Hearts broken …. and trampled on
A penny collected for each one would have created millionaires (well….at least one)………
I don’t want to be just another brick in this wall,
A faceless entity or a worthless poet’s call
Sitting down and waiting for fortunes to change, is not how I play the game……..
Things will be said and done to show my feelings are pure
Till you are convinced
And the grimace on your face changes to a smile, on hearing my name…….
Though everything I have said and done to you might belie this
There might have been anger involved but malice was certainly not in the frame……
My solace lies in your arms
A day will come, of that I am sure
When you will be convinced of the same.
