Unrequited Longing Poem by Miracle Oguine

It's just a little crush, that's what I say,
But it creates a void, growing with each passing day.
This heartache makes me want to weep,
Feeling so alone, my emotions run deep.

Instead of tears, I express my pain in verse,
Writing poems about you, my feelings diverse.
When I follow your gaze, it leads me to him,
When I follow your smile, it mirrors his brim.

Seeing you fills me with joy and delight,
But deep down, I know we can never unite.
Your heart already belongs to another,
Leaving mine shattered, longing for cover.

I find myself drenched, running in the rain,
Just to hear your soprano voice once again.
Why can't I move on? You're just a crush,
But my thoughts of you, they never hush.

Obsessed with a fantasy, I can't let go,
Knowing you'll never love me, this I know.
But I wish you could see my heart breaking,
Behind this smile, a soul that's aching.

So look into my eyes, and you'll perceive,
The pain and torment, causing me to grieve.
Please notice, my dear, that I'm slowly dying,
In this unrequited love, my spirit is crying
