The Tale of One-Sided Love

In the shadows of longing, a heart resides,

A solitary flame, where love silently hides.

One side love, a bittersweet melody it sings,

A symphony of emotions, unrequited feelings.

Yearning in silence, a secret desire,

Unseen tears shed, consumed by the fire.

A heartache that lingers, an ache deep within,

A tender touch craved, a love that won't begin.

Watching from afar, a silent devotion,

Nourishing hopes with unwavering emotion.

Dreams woven delicately, in the tapestry of the mind,

Aching for reciprocation, a love yet to find.

But in one side love, strength can be found,

Resilience blooms, even on solitary ground.

For in this unbalanced dance, lessons are learned,

The value of self-love, the bridges that are burned.

So embrace the unrequited, with grace and care,

For one side love, though painful, can still be rare.

It molds the heart, shapes the soul's flight,

And in the depths of longing, unveils our inner light.
