Love Poem No. 14

Unrequited Love

I've been holding this picture of you in my heart,

that keeps a spark glowing when we are apart;

You never notice the way I yearn -

Nor the way you make my pulse churn.

You never take heed of the way you knock me off of my feet -

The way I find your caressing smile ever so sweet;

You don't understand what I mean to say when I return your glance -

the one gaze that sends me into a hopeless trance;

There is nothing more this poor soul has to imbue,

than to not go another day without being closer to you.
