You beautiful wuss
Imperfect and faulted you be
Pretending to ignore me
All publicly
But you and I both know
You come to see
Invisibly
Your superpower
In this realm
Andre the Mighty!
Is invisibility
Which happens to be
A handicap for me

They say “never settle”
What a privilege it must be
To think so optimistically
Should one aspire towards
The best
Who isn’t interested in me
Do I chase forever desperately
Solitarily
The one
Who will never settle for me?

He’s got walls and moats
Filled with crocodiles
Looking for human root beer floats
He’s got the title of GOAT
Unassumingly
He’s got shiny things
Metal, mineral,
Heavy commodity
Spacious homes for his whole family
Choice of beauties bevericiously
Smart ones, too, atypically
But all that fluff, and stuff
And superlative ****
Isn’t as priceless as me
Which he also has
Abundantly

I could make promises to myself I don’t mean
Try to make a break that’s clean
Swear to every deity
Take an aching knee
I wish I could believe
If only so I could pray
For you to notice me
Vibrantly

What happens to all the feels
Unrequited?
Do they evaporate?
Shrink into a lonely fate?
Chasing something
And forever too late
Does it eventually frustrate?
I wonder if it turns to hate

Once upon a time
Should be right now
But my Prince
He cannot be
Bothered with me
And that’s the tale
With this fairy
