I’m kind of a mess right now emotionally. I have feelings for someone and the girl he was almost in a relationship, the girl he could see “forever” with OD’d and passed away and he’s shattered and I can only stand on the sidelines and offer support. I wrote a poem because that’s what I do when I’m stressed.

The dictionary defines unrequited as

An adjective

Describing a feeling, especially love

Not returned or rewarded

As I look at you, and watch

As you tear your whole world apart

I can’t help but feel

Love not returned

You agonize over someone else

And I agonize over you in return

“She gets what she wants”

And she wanted you

I am mute to you

I want to tell you desperately

You won’t hear it

But I scream it

I want happiness for you

I wish it was with me

But it isn’t

It isn’t with her either

She’s gone away and left you withered

She’s gone and you want to go with her

You do, but you don’t

Love is difficult

*Not jealous of her, just to add. Mostly upset he’s tearing himself apart over it, which is understandable but it’s painful to watch and I wish I could call him back to brighter days.
