Unrequited Love

I love your kind eyes,

That make my heart fly.

I love your sweet cheeks,

That make me so meek.

I love your bright smile,

My heart you beguile,

Yet you don't love me,

Oh how can this be.

Your arm I cling,

My heart that stings.

Your hand so cold,

My love you scold.

Your smile so far,

Much like a star.

Yet my heart starts to stir,

As you look at her.

Her face like a gem,

Her love I condemn.

Her hair so fair,

I can't help but glare.

Her dress so rich,

How I wish we could switch.

Yet his smile so bright,

Perhaps this is alright.

His joy I pray,

Till the end of his days.

May his smile not fade,

Nor get played.

May his future be bliss,

One sealed with a kiss.

Yet although his joy I wish,

My heart swells with anguish.

A love not mine,

I can't help but whine,

If only he could be mine,

And not that swine's.

But his joy I pride,

My love long died,

His new bride at his side,

Though my heart still cried.
