Unrequited love

A heart beats lonely, a soul astray In silent halls, it searches day by day For a love that's meant to be, yet unseen A whispered name, a heart in pain, unrequited love's keen Like autumn leaves, hopes drift and sway Falling gently, never to stay The ache within, a constant guest Longing's fire, that burns and finds no rest In shadows, it hides, afraid to speak Fear of rejection, a heart that may break Yet still it beats, with love so true Hoping, praying, for a love that's meant for you
