I loved a girl...

A guy who loved a girl dearly but never had that in return...

 

 I loved a girl

And she never loved me back

I cherished her

Yet the sight of me she could not bear

I worshiped the ground she walked on

But all she did was treat me with scorn

 

Truly I did love a girl

But all she felt for me was affection

For her I could bring down the stars

Yet her attitude towards me was just bizarre

To me it was an opportunity that comes in a while

But to her it was just a waste of a lifetime

 

With all my heart I really loved a girl

Yet she never saw the sincerity in my words

Try as I could to express them in my letters to her

She just tore them away to shreds

I cried my heart out to the Lord of the earth

To calm my soul and take me from here

 

I indeed, with hope, did I love a girl

At a point she gave me a reason to go on

At another she said no more

With pure passion did I love her?

And the ecstasy I felt whenever she was there

Could die out in split seconds

Like it never occurred

 

Forever I was willing to love this girl

For the imprint on my heart was so crystal clear

Never in my life was there a cause to make it blur

For she had my heart from the day we met

 She dared not lose me to a friend

But freely did she push me over there

She soon forgot how she wept

The very day I met her

And offered to carry her weight on my shoulder

No more proof do I need to share

For sincerely did I love a girl

Yet she never knew I was there...

This is truly a beautiful piece! it is heart wrenching an dsincre, very relatable, well done Amy!

My only critique (and it is more style choices then anything else) is in the first stanza, instead of walked on" maybe "walked upon"? I feel this flows better. and here and their a few words can be swapped or changed slightly, but they do not alter the meaning of the piece. It is a beautiful piece.

I look forward to seeing more!
