"Unrequited"

[Soda_Voxel]

Unrequited
a poem by Soda_Voxel

My stomach churns.
My throat burning from the screaming and weeping,
no longer able to form words.
No amount of music can drown out this painful truth that repeats itself in my head like a broken record.
Cliche it may seem, but I think I truly understand now what people mean when they say
"My heart is broken."
My poor heart feels like it is collapsing on itself,
my chest hollowing out.
It shouldn't kill me,
but then again, how couldn't it?
I long for a future that can never happen,
a feeling that will never be returned.
And I have to live with that.
Live with the fact that you will never love me that way, too.

I really love how you started this, and I csn feel the emotion throughout <3

I really like what you've written and your grief is very relatable.

I always love when you post a poem here because they're so well written, and the emotion comes through really well in this. I love the way you use words which really pack a punch in them. It always makes me feel like I'm there with you. Thank you for sharing.

I really like how you wrote this. I particularly like the last few lines as it reminds me of a time in my life as well and you summed up those feelings really well. Hope you are okay
