Unrequited

I'm walking down the path of anguish
The path of unrequited love
My heart's been broken, crushed and stamped on
And no one's going to put it right

I desired your recognition
For you to see me as a woman
A woman hoping to find love
And have the pleasure of your touch

Now all of my wishes unfullfilled
Are lying trampled in the dust
Splash of my tears is the only sound
That pervades corners of my soul

The soul is battered
Lost its battle
Locked itself in a dank, dark cage
With heart as its fellow prisoner

I used to have a resolve once
Resolve to speak, to speak my mind
To tell you the truth of what's in my heart
But time has passed and it didn't last

Love tastes bitter on my tongue
Only empty words spilling out
I cannot trust you with myself
Craven is who I truly am

"Love me, please," I want to beg
"How have you been?" I say instead
A fleeting smile for any friend
Is given and then taken back

Behind the mask of friend I hurt
Behind my eyes the love is cruel
Behind my words the promise broken
Unrequited love is never spoken
