it's a love unparalleled, just for you.
Hillary Manyaza 1986 (Chitungwiza)
In shadows, I stand alone for you,
Unseen, unnoticed, a faceless friend true.
My thoughts wrap around your absence,
Yet, my heart remains in relentless persistence.
Your gaze might not find my existence,
But my love persists, resistant.
Silent whispers of affection I send,
Hoping they reach you around life's bend.
Your heart may not yearn for me,
Yet, mine aches with a solitary plea.
To be with you, an unspoken desire,
In this lonely, romantic, and somber mire.
Sorrows cloak my unseen sorrow,
As I witness yours, a love to borrow.
You may not grasp my heart's refrain,
But it beats for you in an unyielding chain.
In your world, I may not exist,
Yet, in mine, you persist.
Worries weave through my lonely heart,
A constant rhythm, torn apart.
You may fall for another's charm,
While I await, weathering life's harm.
Time ages me, yet love holds true,
For you, my heart remains eternally blue.
Though your heart finds another's shore,
Mine is steadfast, forevermore.
You may not see my love's pure hue,
But it's a love unparalleled, just for you.
About this poem
This poignant poem delves into the depths of unrequited love, painting a vivid canvas of emotions that oscillate between loneliness, yearning, and enduring devotion. The narrator, relegated to the shadows, serves as a faceless companion, unseen and unnoticed by the object of their affection. The verses unfold with a quiet resilience, expressing a one-sided connection where the narrator's love remains steadfast despite the lack of reciprocation. The poignant acknowledgment that the beloved might not be aware of their presence doesn't diminish the intensity of the narrator's feelings; rather, it amplifies the bittersweet beauty of their unspoken devotion. Loneliness intertwines with romantic longing, creating a melancholic atmosphere that permeates each line. The narrator's heart, though unclaimed, beats in sync with a persistent desire for connection. The poet masterfully weaves a narrative where the unseen lover becomes a silent guardian, navigating the complexities of unrequited love with grace. The poem beautifully captures the essence of unfulfilled yearning, portraying the silent observer who witnesses the sorrows and joys of the beloved from a distance. The theme evolves into a reflection on the enduring nature of true love, unaltered by time or external circumstances. As the verses unfold, the narrator's love is depicted as a timeless force, outlasting the aging of the physical self. The closing lines echo a profound commitment, asserting that no one else could ever love the beloved in the same profound way.
