Best Unrequited Love Poems

Wandering my maze of memories
In search of yesteryear
The spark she struck within my heart
Still burns in spite of tears
Hand in hand we walked the halls
Young love boldly displayed
The classes we shared
The moments we snared
Our two hearts swept away
That Saturday picnic in the spring
'Neath the canopy...

Unrequited Love And Sad Nightly Calls

Wherein solitude, shades long day's travails
my desire for your true love yet remains.
Nights arrive, I battle through living Hells
death knocking loud with heartbreaking pains!

O' that your deep sorrows, you had not found,
into your private island had not fled.
Now, I am...

The love I felt exists no more
I can’t believe we’re no more
Darling how can this even be
Don’t you even care and see

I sleep at night in such hopeless torment
My soul inside crying tears of sad lament
I once felt at the very pinnacle of my life
Now...

Why did everything had to happen this way?
Why do I still think of it? It's over anyway.
Of your heart, I always wanted to be a part.
Unrequited, fallen to the ground, is my heart shattered apart.

One might be strong to collect those pieces fallen.
But to join...

While transient love is all I yearn for now,
A state of panic engulfs as I imagine.
When my life takes a decisive turn
Hair white, wrinkled face and lack of sin. 

Will I see shadows of myself?
Will my contagious grime enthuse my sons?
Have I discovered my faults...

Not by chance do I find myself
Awake in the dead of night; caught by fright.
The stinging pangs of a grace far from touch.
Are you real? Why such longing?
How and why do you make my heart sing so loud?

God I love you, want you and feel...

I’ll be there when you succumb to my love: to gloat; to see you weep;
I’ll catch your tears on the flow,
Yes, I’ll wipe off your cheeks below.
I’ll be with you and you’ll not have to see me limp or leap or creep.
I’ll be waiting for...

A million whispered moments pass
as I watch you glide through the crowd,
your measured steps so gracefully danced,
a coy kiss placed upon my cheek,
as you spin in place with each movement.

But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a...

i do not wish to keep observing
but art as captivating as you stays in my mind
at all hours of the day and well into the night

it hurts to breathe when all i think of 
are your chiseled edges so smooth they dance in the light,
and...

How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea?
I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow
his crest swelled in high rise on testosterone tide
swindles my tease to tame his blue Neptune flame
mocking my sun dried bed with unruly despise
he rides a white steed...

I
OPEN AS A BLOSSOM
EMBRACED YOU
I
WRAPPED MY MIND
AROUND YOU
WORSHIPED YOU
LIKE A GOD
FELT YOU IN MY BONES
AND BREATHED YOU IN
AT EVERY CHANCE
THEN THE DAY DAWNED
ON ANOTHER LOVE
LEAVING YOUR MYSTERY
LIMP AND DEFEATED
BESTILL THE NIGHT
MY HAPHAZARD DREAM
ENDS AS IT BEGAN.

If love is...
feeling unloved, 
anxious and starved,
give my  regards
Does the torment of love's hate
eliminate pain?
If love is trembling lips
and sultry eyes, upon them
everlasting cries,
Charcoal tears that pour
What answers are there for these sores
Binding spells of
the unforgiving way swells
She the accuser shames
with her bitter blame
Aging...

Now I don’t know if I really learned about love
Or if I got to explore what it’s made of
Is it a warm feeling when you hold hands?
And kiss and laugh at each other’s stance
Are there the troubles that seem to last forever?
Because if it works...
