Unrequited Love

Sometimes I wonder why people fall in love.
Why do we abandon ourselves to these
Painful, encumbering feelings?
I search for the answer with…
My fluttering heart as a guide.

I found you to be my lighthouse.
No you never did shine your light for the rusty old boat
But only burning your life to shine
As bright as the sun for the magnificent yacht.
Never did you once consider me.
You only came to take my life for him.
