Unrequited Love - A Dialogue Part 1

Unrequited Love

You can sing away my sorrow.

You can take the honey from my cabinet.

You can write my pain away.

You can feel my blood pressure, cholesterol and my asthma -

So you took my breath away.

You can strip me of my oils,

essentially until tomorrow,

but I can never make you stay.

I keep giving,

I keep giving,

I keep giving,

and you take.

I keep wishing,

I keep wishing,

I keep wishing,

you will change.

Set in stone.

I am home,

calling out for your name.

I’m not whole,

but a fraction.

Not a dollar,

but some change.
