Feelings and emotions of love not returned

Unrequited Love

by Sombul Augustine

Unrequited love 

I loved you 

To the moon and back

But the moon disappears 

It’s nature is to hide

The love i had for you

Like the moon, it disappeared 

My love was a deception

Enslaved in rejection 

Love I had for you 

Under the eerie moonlight 

Died of resentment 

The Love for you 

Was a blackened cancer

Disdainful moon dancer 

It gloated and waited 

To gamble on my dignity  

I’m done dancing 

In the moonlight 

Under stagnant streetlights

I’m gone on, moving to sunlight
