unrequited love

i love you
but you feel nothing
for me
the lost and lonely seeker
with a thousand beats of my heart
to give to you

if only you felt the same
because i feel bubbly and you
you feel nothing for me
floating bubbles surround my heart
encased in strong tidal waves
of devotion

hurting like hell
i simply cannot reach the sandy shore
of my love
alone and overwhelmed
the despair is drifting
through me

why do i have to feel this way
about someone who never thinks about me?
my heart is burdened by a weight
i cannot carry anymore
i need to escape
swim to a silent sound

my heart is crying
i sit and wait
for the currents of the sea to pass me by
so i can feel free, again
without my heart aching
for someone who will never even love me
