A love unrequited

by TrUtH hUrTs   Jul 26, 2007


Clouds drifted over a winter's day,
Staining the idle sunshine in a sepia wreath,
Slowly, it diffused into the skies,
Like the quiet tears caught in her breath

She waited for him like a child,
Impatient, restless, fervent.
She waited, like velvet darkness
Forsaken, desolate, insatiable

She waited, a woman possessed,
Trapped in a fistful of dreams
Twisted beyond recognition
Lost in the afterglow,
Of a forbidden infatuation

He crept towards her,
Like the shadows at twilight
And they stood together in their solitude
A wretched solitude bleeding white
They were one, because they were broken
They were broken because they were one,

The whispering zephyr framed them forever,
Upon a fleck of aluminum daylight
The warmth of a smile,
Tinged the softness of his eyes
While the thoughts of a stolen kiss
Hung at the corners of her lips
The moment passed, the spell was broken
They walked away, a love unrequited

Clouds drifted over a winter's day,
Staining the idle sunshine in a sepia wreath,
Slowly, it diffused into the skies,
Like the quiet tears caught in her breath

    I loved how you would say " She waited for him" and such, then use decriptive words to back it up. It was just, amazing. (: I've done it a few times, but your much better at description than I am. (:

    A very well written poem. The word choice was excellent and the emotion that was portrayed in it was amazing! It should be a 5/5.

    My favorite lines were:
    She waited, like velvet darkness
    Forsaken, desolate, insatiable
    &&
    They were one, because they were broken
    They were broken because they were one,
    ``````````````
    They expressed such emotion! The last two were my absolute favorite. :)

    Great job! :)
