Look into my eyes; reach inside my soul.

You’re the keeper of my happiness which has remained untold.

Stored between your arms is a place created to destroy- I’ve become a missing person stolen from reality, taken by a boy.

Beneath my chest beats a heart that isn’t whole; broken into pieces- lost and uncontrolled.

My brain has tricked me, my heart has fooled me- head over heels screaming in agony unheard but still recognised.

My greatest pain is loving in vain.

You can’t remain my foolish desire.

It’s hurts me to say,

Goodbye to my unrequited love,

And forever it shall stay.
