Unrequited

I love you
Almost too much to bear
With your sparkly brown eyes 
And your curly black hair

You are the sole person, my soul person
My connections, reflections, digressions 
Correction
You’re my soul in a person
You kept it in you 
And took it with you 
And where did you go

I’m not happy but I’m not exactly sad
Or mad
Just crispy 
And society’s taught me 
That no one wants the burnt piece

I love you like that old guy from up loves balloons 
I love you like I used to love Saturday morning cartoons 
And you would’ve watched them with me 
Because you love me too 
Or you loved me
Or

All along its just been a tale of love unrequited
A flame unignited
And I love you despite it 
Despite your running away and
Alienation

And turning on me like Lucifer
I am NOT calling myself God
Because I took my words like hell fire 
And I burned you unrecognizable

That’s maybe why I did not recognize when you 
Decided to break my soul in two 
Or three 
Or nine
How divine 
That you could
Sever these ties so cleanly.
