A Love Unrequited

I blow sweet kisses all I receive are punches I write you cosmic poems at night I receive silence while you're in another's arms I root for you to hold on to this You quickly run and show me this cannot be bliss How can I trust you when you cheat your heart? You disrespect me and spit at loyalty Do you love me at all? Am I in love alone Do you think of me when those men take you to expensive dinners? Do you remember my warm and pure embrace? Am I alone? Is it a truth I have to face You never call but you show me that you care Perhaps it is mere deception to keep me there So I can comfort you when those men are cruel Perhaps I am a guard of your precious ego Securing your vulnerable self When you do not see that you are more than you bargain for That no money can buy your worth You do not see that you are a pearl of Earth Misled into thinking the skin of you is all that beauty has to offer You get lost in hollows and get caught by the shallow If only you remained on the plane Between the sky and the surface A frequency that vibrates the heart A place for the fallen The fallen caught by those who reciprocate The frequencies collide and it's magic I'm talking about love Maybe if you knew this place Maybe if you weren't betrayed Then this love wouldn't be a love unrequited.
