Defective

adjective; imperfect or faulty

I’m terrible at writing good love poems,

Because unrequited is all I know. 

I’ve always been the second choice, 

Someone you think about fondly, 

In fleeting memories,

Or the missed opportunity, 

But if I’m everyone’s missed opportunity, 

Then no one is left to love me.

'But if I'm everyone's missed opportunity." What a cool way to express those feelings. I liked this a lot. I could feel this..

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. That was my favourite line as well.

Keep writing poems like this one KP and someone going to start loving you. Moon-eyed poets, are like planets orbiting, eventually they run into one another
