"For Someone Who Will Never Write For Me"

Once again,
let me write you a poetry.

Allow me to paint my feelings
on the canvas
using the pained tip of my pen
like a drunk artist
drowned in the metaphors
of an unrequited love--

unrequited
yet
unquieted-

unquieted
by its desire to be heard,

with the sound
that it makes as it breaks into pieces--

shattered pieces
caused by
your lovely pieces--

pieces that you wrote for her.

So once again,
let me write your name
using my pen

as I hope that one day,
it will suddenly run out of ink

just like these feelings
that I have
for someone who will never write for me.
