unrequited

My heart thrums a rhythm that sings of your name,
A melody of love that blazes my soul aflame.
Though fate may dictate that we can never be,
My love for you will remain eternally.

Your beauty, a work of art unparalleled, hearts beware,
A masterpiece of grace, of which none can compare.
Just a minute possibility of being by you,
Gnaws away any reality I could have with God knows who.

Yet, like a rose that blooms but for a season,
Our love is destined to wither without reason.
For though I long to hold you in my embrace,
I realize my endless love for you could never take your place.

I cherish every moment that we have shared,
Every word you've spoken, every breath you've bared.
Though our paths may diverge,our worlds collide and hell raze for all I care,
My unbounded love for you will never leave my grazed heart, it shan't dare.

Hence as I stand here, lost in thought and memory,
I offer this poem, a testament to my love's reverie.
Though our love may never be realized,
I'll love you still, forever mesmerized.

I do wonder as I gaze at my bleeding heart
holding a wide melancholic chasm tearing it apart
Is love really a coveted blessing worth its haul
Or the most twisted curse of them all?
