Unrequited Melody

Your laughter echoes, a melody so sweet, But it's a song I can't join, a rhythm I can't meet. My heart, a fragile bird, trapped in a gilded cage, Yearning for your touch, a love I can't engage. I watch you from afar, a silent, unseen guest, My love, a whispered secret, forever suppressed. Your smile, a radiant sun, but its warmth doesn't reach me, Leaving me in the shadows, a love eternally free. The words we shared, like whispers, now fade into the air, Leaving only empty spaces, a void I can't repair. My feelings, once so vibrant, now lie shattered and cold, A love unrequited, a story left untold.
