Fallen Hearts

A notion on unrequited Love.

How far have you Fallen when your

Heart no longer beats for another,

An insomnia of the Hearts accord

That seems to have been misplaced.

She told you that she loved you

But you can see the truth in her

Blue eyes, beautiful as ever.

The aching pain feels permanent,

Like a shadow on a sunny day.

You hate her for not feeling what she cannot,

In spite of knowing it can never be forced,

No matter how much your Heart hurts.

Author's Note

An ode to the classical tale of an unrequited Love. Feel free to speak honestly about what you think of this.

No matter how much your Heart hurts....

love can never be forced..it needs to flow from within and yes it would reflect in the eyes...very true..
and oh yes unrequited love for sure is a pain in all wrong places :)

Those are the Loves you never really forget or fully move on from.

By the way, love your avatar, Cate! ;)
If you know who my avatar is you may be able to guess that I tend to write in dark themes mostly.

How many thousands of us know this feeling? Some time ago I posted a poem here not to dissimilar from this. Its at this site the title is "Alone In My Wonder" You might enjoy it.

Take care - Dave

Wondrous poem, Kevin!!!
Gorgeously portrayed...Love must be free to flow in ones heart without any force, for not even the one that owns the heart, has hardly any control over it. Sometimes one is wonderful but the heart simply cannot agree with the mind. I guess the heart has its own mind.

I hope all is well with you dear.
Hugs

I have no more words.

"You hate her for not feeling what she cannot"
That's the great line in there. The emotion a man felt within. I like the line so much. Your good at this lovecraft. Love that.

Sincerely,

I'm honored, Capo. To be a Capo in the Italian Mafia... You must be important. ;P

Love with limits or boundaries. Sometimes love can encompass on heart so differently than anothers. You penned both sides well..

[Coyote Poetry]

Honest and true words my friend.
"The aching pain feels permanent,
Like a shadow on a sunny day."
The above lines. Realistic words and thoughts. Once sweet love can turn to darkness. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thanks, Coyote! Nice to "see" you again. I had several months where I had to deal with stuff so that's why I haven't been on in months. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

I'm glad you are back and you are welcome.

[emmajoy]

Don't doubt you already know how it is - logic, age, experience tells us day in, day out: Love is the winner. supreme BUT on its own terms. It can carry a heart to the heavens or throw it from a cliff into the deepest deep. Your words, your sad but beautiful words, prove exactly that.

[Lovecraft]

A poem within a review of a poem. Thank you. Love is the most complicated emotion. It can be dizzying in its ecstasy and plunge us into an abyss of sadness.

[emmajoy]

Yes, I know.. more than I should. :)

[Lovecraft]

Fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. Ah, what lives we lead...

[emmajoy]

Very true.. that's why dreams come in useful.

[Lovecraft]

Those dreams are a two-edged blade though.

[emmajoy]

I blunt them with indifference! (how about that for an instant reply!)

[Lovecraft]

Nice. Poems within reviews of poems. :)

[DarkArtz 0703]

[Lovecraft]

Loving someone that doesn't love you is always heartbreaking...

[DarkArtz 0703]
