Analysis of Love Unrequited
From time immemorial
I have sought love
Waited for love
To share with one so special
Time has been unkind
To seek
To wait
All in vain
Time no longer is friend
This world no longer has value
For no one seeks the true soul
True beauty is limited by ones own vision
All here is vanity
My home is not this world
