Heartache

In the shadows I wait
As I see you go by
It makes me irate
As you turn a blind eye
Never to notice my love for you
I go on as if we are friends
But the hurt and the tears will only accrue
And I get tired of playing pretend
All I want is to call you my own
To be there, to love you tender
Instead I sit here all alone
Thinking of what could be my splendor
Though I still continue to go on
I wonder when my heart will break
I cannot tell if I still have emotions
Because all I feel is heartache

Just needed to vent a little....

Peace Wagoner, I like the stories of unspoken love, it inspires me to always go after what I want, to live not enduring unnecessary heartache. Very lovely expression of heART. Venting is good for the soul, for all machines :) P.S. line 11 reads "hear" I think you meant "here". Still, its quite lovely

Oh! I see it! Thanks for pointing that out!

Do I seriously have to explain in words how...unique this is? Because let me tell you, that's impossible. Thank you for sharing this.

[Dalton Wagoner]

Aww! Thank you for your positive words! 😁

Great vent Dalton. I think a lot of people have experienced something similar to this. What if the blind eye genuinely doesn't see though? Especially as you're 'friends' according to line six. :)
Thanks for sharing

I like your analysis of the poem, especially how you pointed out friends in the quotation marks.
