DAILY WRITING PROMPT

Write a prose poem addressed to someone you're in unrequited love with

How much longer can this last?

For every day I see you, and I fall in love with you all over again

My love has turned my soul into a smoldering volcano

Yet no one knows

I do such a good job keeping it hidden

But someone will find out someday

Maybe you?

You are perfection

Your blonde hair cascading down past your breast

The curves of your body

The roundness of your lips

The gleaming green eyes that pierce my soul

And the way you blink your eyes

You say more with a single blink than you ever could with words

I want you, yet you don't want me

"Give it time," I tell myself

But what if the time comes and I say the wrong thing?

Or make you uncomfortable?

So I sit quietly

And stare at your necklace

Hoping that down below

There's a place in your heart

For a girl like me
