Unrequited love

I gathered all my love and affection together

and after time of carefully holding it dear to my heart those feelings turned to a ball of light.

Day by day it became harder to hold onto, more painful to keep and evermore lonesome tucked within my embrace with nowhere to go.

These feelings became a burden, a reminder of a tragic affliction.

I wanted to abandon it, to forget it, to replace it with a lighter burden-

but such a feet I could not accomplish.

Slowly I became a soul ****** to walk the earth burdened by my own feeling like a spirit trapped in limbo by it's own lingering attachments.

Just as I wanted to curse my petty existence,

to denounce the joy I once felt and to empty my heart for the darkness to feed

I looked up one last time and saw what I had been so blind to notice.

As if Apollo himself whisked upon the darkening sky to free my plagued soul

I found the answer out from this onus.

The sky has become filled with lights burning as bright as mine

so I threw my orb  beyond the horizon that lay before me.

Hopefully this light filled with my love and affection will reach.

My burden is freed and I can live again.

What lies in the future all depends on you;

who lies on the other side of my world.
