Wounded Hearts

Silent Yearnings

In shadows where my heart does dwell, A love unspoken, none can tell, Your gaze, a light I cannot claim, A silent yearning, endless flame.

I watch you from a distance far, A beacon bright, a guiding star, Yet in your world, I do not shine, A love unquenched, a fate unkind.

Forgotten Echoes

Your laughter, like a distant song, In memories where I belong, Each note a whisper in the breeze, A love that brings me to my knees.

For in your heart, I do not live, A dream you never could forgive, My love, an echo lost in time, Unheard, unseen, a muted chime.

The Unseen Tear

I smile while hiding tears inside, A heart that breaks, but does not bide, For in your eyes, I see no care, A love unnoted, cruelly bare.

Your touch, a hope I cannot feel, A wound that time will never heal, And as I fade into the night, My tears unseen, my love's last light.

Fractured Dreams

In dreams where we are hand in hand, A world of love so pure, so grand, But dawn does break with cruel disdain, My fractured dreams in sorrow’s pain.

For in the waking light, I see, Your heart belongs to none but thee, And I, a shadow in your day, Am left with dreams that fade away.

Unspoken Words

The words of love I long to speak, Are trapped within, my soul’s own weak, For fear of what your heart might say, Keeps silent love in night’s dismay.

Your voice, a melody so sweet, Yet in your heart, I find no seat, Unspoken words, a lover’s bane, A silent song, unvoiced refrain.

The Lonely Gaze

I watch you dance with joy and grace, A longing hidden in my face, For in your world, I cannot be, A love unrequited, bittersweet.

Your happiness, my bittersweet joy, For you, my heart’s eternal ploy, And as I stand alone, unseen, A lonely gaze, my heart’s serene.

Torn Pages

The pages of our story torn, With love unspoken, dreams forlorn, Each word a dagger to my heart, A tale of love that’s torn apart.

For in your eyes, I am not found, A love that’s silent, yet profound, Torn pages of a book unread, A love unspoken, tears unsaid.

Fading Glances

Your glances never meet my own, A love unnoted, left alone, In every crowd, I search for you, A love unspoken, ever true.

Yet as the days do pass me by, Your heart remains beyond my sigh, And I, a shadow in your light, Do fade away, love’s silent night.

Whispered Goodbyes

In whispered goodbyes, our love does die, Unspoken truths in tearful sigh, Your heart, a realm I cannot claim, A love unfulfilled, eternal shame.

Yet still, I hold you in my dreams, A love that’s more than what it seems, And in the shadows of my heart, I’ll love you still, though we must part.

The Final Tear

The final tear I shed for thee, A love unclaimed, my heart’s own plea, For in your eyes, I see no light, A love unrequited, endless night.

Yet in the darkness, I remain, A heart that beats through endless pain, And though you’ll never know my name, My love for you will still remain.
