Unrequited Love (free style)

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Oct 7, 2011


Guess its easier for you to say love is just a feeling when you don't feel the same

Guess its easier to break a heart when yours stays whole

What happened to empathy?

Why can't you walk a mile in my shoes?

The word "no" wouldn't seem so cruel if I thought you had some understanding

I feel humiliated to have my emotions thrown back in my face

A simple hug would mean so much but I can't expect anything physical from you

Tears burn my eyes well you smile with nerves but you just don't get it

Maybe I am courageous for saying those three words but I feel like a loser

And I have nothing more to say but I can't stop talking anyway

I don't see an end to this situation yet you can walk away right now

When I gave my heart I gave up freedom

Trapped in a snare of my own feelings

Scared it will stay this way for eternity

    I somehow really liked the title because though it has something simple it is interesting, but I think it tells a bit too much.
    I have to agree with The Poetess because the way it is right now, visual wise, it might scare readers away. Besides the blank lines are somewhat confusing and they make every sentence stay on their own, but if you broke it into stanzas it might be more fluently and would feel connected.
    The emotions are definately powerful and they fit to the context really well, I also liked the last three verses best.
    Overall you did a good job and this poem has potential, with a bit of editing it'd be even better.

    Those three lines were very sincere and true. You defined love very right! I like this.However, I'd have some suggestions for you. I'd advise you to not write those first letters in capitals in every single new line.It will flow better.

    I would suggest that you make it into stanzas so it will eye much more interesting.
    Nevertheless, I enjoyed the read, very creative.
