Untitled

I would write a thousand poems in your name, but I will never capture your natural and unyielding beauty. I would paint hundreds of portraits of you, but my pieces will never match a single smile you make. I will walk a miles without caring whether I thirst or hunger, just so I can see your face, yet my body will give up before I reach you. I would send you exotic and fragrant flowers as a homage to your loveliness, yet their fragrance will fade, they shall lose their color, and they will eventually wither and die. I shall pray to God every single damn day until He smites me out of annoyance that I would be able to hold your hand even for just one second, but alas He still hasn't answered this one prayer. I will do everything for you, and you know I would. Yet you will not even notice me.
