Unrequited
Aug 3, 2023
It’s happened again.
The giving that feels like receiving.
that turned into a taking, a syphoning, a draining.
They they go again.
Wondering away while I stand here
uninvited to go with.
Our imaginary connection moving away
into a distance that I cannot reach.
I put it all in again.
Surrendering myself up for grabs,
handing my heart over with large eyes
filled with hope and longing.
Only to be left unwanted again.
