Unrequited Love

He once said he just wasn’t “the type,”

Too distant, too cold, never ripe.

But I saw him care –

Give love, truly there –

And suddenly my heart wiped the hype.

No envy, no tears left to shed,

Just clarity filling my head.

He could have been kind,

But I wasn’t inclined

To beg for what he gave her instead.

So I stepped from the cage he designed,

With peace and no chains left to bind.

The truth made me see –

He just chose not to love me –

And in that, I found freedom defined.

Everything I write is crafted with care, time, and a lot of passion. If my work resonates with you, I’d love your support — whether it’s sharing, leaving a comment, or engaging with the piece. Your encouragement fuels my creativity and keeps me inspired to write more!
