Unreciprocated Friends


This hollow ache

I swallow the sword of fondness

I wait for it's closure to hit my stomach

It is unforgiving

It is tastless

It is mine alone

I need an outlet. My poetry is poor, and free verse.... but I'm a strong believer that poetry is just emotions. If I feel something when I write it must be poetry. If you feel something when you read it it must be poetry.
