Unrequited Love

This emotion controls me
Feel like i might combust
This overwhelming longing
This deep and passionate lust
A desire to belong
Just wanting to be longed for
To be held in someones arms
And live in a haze of splendour
Ths feeling i will never know
It tears my heart in two
This pain that fills my heart and soul
Of hoping you would love me too.
