Array ( [sid] => 27309 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Love Waylay and Unrequited [time] => 2003-11-17 12:28:38 [hometext] => This poem is meant to describe the pain of abandonment and unrequited love [bodytext] => Supressed within my solitude
Exiled against my will
Yet wanting to stay alone forever
The tears I cry are crystal

For many years I have been trapped
In chains from never ending disgrace
'Tis too late to fix my mistakes
Loneliness has become my fate

In thy garden I dwell
In thy beautiful prison I call my home
As coldness overwhelms my heart...I am doomed to recollect
I am confined to thee and thee alone

I sing for thee the songs of old
The songs that I once loved
Yet now my voice has become frail
And I envy the voice of the morning dove

Too long have I payed the penalty!
Too long have I haunted your steps!
Everyone that has ever had a love for me has fled
Away from this hell, misery, and dread

They left me here to cry
Tears of crystal I shed
Frozen from the coldness of my heart
And remind me of a life once led

In your garden eternally I shall dwell
In your prison of beauty my heart yearns
In recollection of my lovers' faces
People that have never loved me in return

Now as night falls without a star
And as the last leaf from the tree falls
Forever I shall sing thy song
And cling to dreams deferred

Love Waylay and Unrequited

In thy beautiful prison I call my home

Absolutely brilliant........

Wow....

I have to say, unrequitted love is not a stranger to me either.... it hurts so badly.... I could totally relate to everything you said. It was so eerily familiar. Especially "too long have I haunted your steps". That is exactly what happens, right? Actually, I've got to go... I'm going to see my secret love in person in a few minutes.... But oh, how torturous it'll be..... I'll think of your poem when I see him, I know it....

Lovely write.

God bless, and hope for brighter days,
Ellen
