Hope's Lost Love

At night he saw me,

In day a blur.

My feelings to him - undiscovered,

And yet there we were.

I prayed for his touch,

But failed to feel.

Our love guided by arrows,

Re-directed by steel.

Both our hearts punctured,

By the devil's sharp pin.

I shy away from love,

For I cannot love him.

My thoughts undiscovered,

By the people who care.

I cannot love him,

And yet still I dare.

My mind is a mess,

My heart is a hole.

I could learn to love,

But destroy my soul.

This has to end,

Before it's too late.

I have lost a friend,

I don't want to hate.

For At night he saw me,

In day a blur.

My feelings to him - discovered,

And yet there we were.

Great poetic write and poignantly creative! I couldn’t help thinking; Lois lane loved Superman, but couldn’t recognise him as Clark Kent. There is a crossroads hidden within the text which makes the reader question – which path will she take? Wonderful …..

Thank you so much!
I love the way you have interpreted the poem, something I would never have thought of but makes a whole lot of sense so thank you!
