Everything For Nothing


Unrequited love is a curse.

When you love someone with all of your heart,

Knowing that they will never reciprocate your feelings.

 

When you would give the world for them

When you're happy if they're happy

When they're always on you're mind

When you love them so much it hurts.

 

Knowing that they'll never be satisfied

Knowing that you aren't their source of happiness

Knowing that they're thinking of someone else

Knowing that someone else has their heart.

 

And the worst part about onesided love is everything.

The false hope from fantasies

The wasted time and effort

The feelings of abandonment and rejection

The sacrifice of Everything

The receiving of Nothing

It's the heartache with no cure.

 

It is unhealthy love.

Which is why I truly believe,

That healthy love is equal.

Because if you love me, I love you.
