A poem influenced by constantly listening to depressing songs.
Love unrequited is like
The falling petals
Of a cherry tree -
Apparitions set free.
Forgotten upheavals.

T'will soon diminish
From the fabrics of the mind.
A broken heart's wish
It never did find.

Love unrequited is like
A child's affection
Towards his own parents -
Filled with rejection
And excommunication.

He will grow in solitude,
Seeking senseless gratitude
And leave the world alone;
Seemingly lived with fortitude.

Love unrequited is like
Being burnt at the stake:
Slowly, mortality comes;
Agonizing, wishing it all a dream,
But you never wake.
