Unrequited Love

In shadows cast by the silent moon,

I bared my heart, in a tender swoon.

Yet your eyes, like distant stars above,

Never mirrored back, unrequited love.

I whispered secrets to the night,

Longing for your touch, your light.

But in the darkness, I remain,

Alone with love that feels like pain.

Though my heart may ache and yearn,

I'll cherish the love that will not return.

For in this bittersweet, melancholy art,

I find the strength to heal my heart.
