Unrequited Love

I have now a broken heart,
For I gave it all to the one I love,
She gave too, and promised me so much.
But now I have a broken heart,
Because my love... she did not love me back.

Every day I would waste words,
Trying to express how much I did love.
So I wrote her poetry and prose,
Gave her what gifts I could.
Yet still my love, she broke my heart.

And the gifts made, both small and large
The chocolates and drawings from the heart,
were once given with a smile, a laugh.
The necklace and wooden box from my past,
Chosen carefully as memories to last.

Though it should come of no surprise,
For Twice before I was hurt in the past.
But this love was the strongest of all,
She was everything in my eyes, my one true love.
So tell me how true love could break my heart?
