Poems of Truth

Romeo & Rosaline

I love this girl.
The beauty of my world.
I seek her out in crowds
Which she does not return.

My affections are held inside
'Cause they are not returned.
Now I suffer in pain that nobody
Can understand.

I can not escape.
I am trapped in my head.
Thoughts of what could have been
Swirling around until they're dead.

But they never die.
They are constant and haunt me
Day and Night.
Images of her flash through my mind.

Love is torturously sweet.
Her smile makes me glad
And her tears make me worried.
But I cannot talk to her cause I know my feelings are not returned.

Maybe one day I'll find my Juliet.
A one in a million.
A girl who loves me.
But as of now I am Romeo and she is Rosaline.
