Chasing the Unrequited
The jagged pieces congealed to a thick solid numbness.
My heart became a frozen iceberg to what you casually confess.
Bone white, splattered in moonlight, it now protrudes
in the motionless black onyx ocean of my soul.
Desperate to absorb the solace the glowing darkness eludes.
Yet alone, I shiver with the ice of your truths.
Who you want
may very well not want you.
Why is it we covet so, the shineless promises,
warning signs of the cold blatant truth.
A dull fact, you were never mine.
I chase the unrequited with my neurons of denial.

I feel your pain, girl. Parts of me still reside here. This is exquisite in its depiction of unrequited love.

Lol... "Who you want

Don't I just know it! Felt these words extra strong this morning. Such a thought provoking piece, db. 😊

Thank you. I think it's a truth we can all say we have known, unfortunately.
Have a great day.

You are aware
and can fully acknowledge the source of your turmoil
That in of itself speaks of growth
Much respect

You know what I feel like it does mean I'm growing beyond being in denial.

Thank you! 🖤
All I had left was the pain, so I put it to words.
I'm glad you liked it, that means a lot to me.

A sad poem, Debbie. The next Kiss, though, is out there, moving ever closer towards you, and when it connects it'll melt the ice in your heart with the warmth of its love. 💛
Best wishes.💐

We all, from time to time, fall prey to cupid's misappropriation of feelings!
Be still my darling. This too will pass~

I'd be happy if that was the only source of my heartache - thank you for reading, I very much appreciate.
I believe my dark times will pass
