Unrequited Love

The pain of unrequited love

Worse than anyone can ever imagine

A stab to my heart

Filled with regret and sadness

An unjust melancholy

Of love so strong but not returned

Stop this folly and be jolly

My brain tells me

But I can't from what I've learned

Where did I get that idea

Was it all in my head

You tell me not to be sad

But your words of solace hurt instead

When someone loves you, but you don't love him back

You feel empathy to a certain degree

And then the feeling is gone

But when you love someone

And they don't love you back

That feeling is another story

It pushes you deeper and deeper

Into your insecurities

Your doubts

Your fears

It places emphasis on everything you hate about yourself

But no one will push you out of it

No one will help you

From the depths of your agony

And then time becomes your friend

And it ultimately heals you

Inside and out

So don't be sad

And don't be upset

In the end

It's better to regret something that you said

Than to regret something you meant

But didn't do

At the end of the day

We all learn from our mistakes

Whether they are big or small

Serious or foolish

We all forgive

And we all forget.
