One Sided Love

One Sided Love

Call it one sided,
Call it unrequited love.
I am struggling with remembering,
How you fell in love with me,
While I was already with someone.
We were best friends you and I
We couldn’t fight our feelings,
But I was with another,
Remember how I told you that
That you should move on
And find another to love.
This is really difficult now,
Because here I found myself single
And the coin has flipped over,
My heart now search for yours,
But it’s gone, taken by another.
I never thought I’d be in this situation.
How our love was one sided
When the other was with someone,
Now the roles has reversed
And I am at that very place where you were
For six months holding onto me,
And finally I let the words slip
From my lips, that I don’t want you.
Call it one sided,
Call it unrequited love.
Call it a lover’s foolishness.






This is my entry for Week 31, Poetry Potluck "These are a few of my favorite things"!!
This is my favourite things which is odd, because I am writing what the muse of Tragedy(Melpomene) puts out there for me, so right now this is my favourite things. Acceptance on the award to Jingle.



Poetry Month Clambake Wk 3, my entry for this week.

Award From Luna's Clambake


Poetic Asides , day 13 of the National Poetry Month.
For today's prompt, write a poem that remembers an old relationship. This relationship does not have to be romantic. It could be a departed (or estranged) family member, old friend, former teacher, or even just someone you briefly encountered. And the relationship may have even been one-sided or seemingly insignificant to the other person. So let's all dig deep into our memory banks and see what we can draw out today.

Oh, how sad and often true. : (

I enjoyed this perspective. Oftentimes humans want what they can't have, maybe it's just plain ego

I like how the poem is looped back. Heartrending.

Love is strange and often what you want is just out of reach. You did a nice job. I really enjoyed it.
