Love's blight

I cannot keep following you
I have fallen behind
Sometimes your aloofness is painfully unkind
My heart rips and falls
You act like it’s nothing at all
Is it that you don’t feel it too
Or are you better at hiding what’s inside of you
I wish I could be like that
Immune to the pain
But feelings take hold of me and drive me quite insane
So deep I feel, it overwhelms
And pushes me to the outer realms
So I must step back from the ledge
Though it cuts me like a knife’s sharp edge
The obstacles between us so great
And we are separated by the state
It’s bittersweet, a love left unfulfilled
Even sadder that it lingers still
So with a wish for love so pure
And happiness for this pain’s cure
I let you go out of sight
While I stay behind in love’s dark blight
