Unrequited Love

As sighs

Play intense

Add to mist's thickness

The chasm seems to widen

Togetherness...slowly and silently

Walks towards exit gate

The story

Sans an iota of romance

Is ready perhaps

To morph into

Charter of distance

Feeble strands of alliance

Can not take the load anymore per se

Nor can add sheen to

Faltered stance

Rapport posing a far cry

Let me choose to part ways

Under the sprawling sky

With a promise ...

Never to say "hello"

Nor to meet again

Marinate soul

In deep anguish and pain

Dithering moments of

Unrequited love

Shall intrude into

Mind and core

Make things bitter and sore

For sure

Yet I shall not seek

Your comforting gesture

To embellish

My dilapidated shore anymore.
