Craving For What’s Not Mine (A poem)

For every heart that beats for someone who doesn’t hear it.

In the silent corners of my heart,
There is a love that won’t depart.
It is a whisper that only I can hear,
A longing you will never fear.

I see you laugh, I see you smile,
Lost in all, in all of a while,
You pass by, you do not see,
The silent storm inside of me.

Your eyes, a world that I just can’t touch,
A dream I am desperate for but dreads too much.
I reach for you with words unspoken,
In a dance where my heart gets broken.

I am a shadow in your light,
a secret love that fades at night.
And yet I stay, though love’s unkind,
For in this pain, my heart you’ll find.

One-sided, yes, but it’s my choice to love you with a silent voice.
A love that lives, though never known,
A one-sided dream, I call my own..
