~Unrequitted Love~

Plain and simple.

I want poems about loving someone that doesn't love you back.
It needs to be something serious.
None of that "I love them but they don't know who I am" stuff.

This is for those of you that have professed love and it was never returned.
Or we're led on and hugely rejected.
Or gave the world and got shat on.

Hmm this could go in many directions...
Lets stick with those main 3 things.

In authors notes, give me a bit of a background story for your poem.
I'd like to understand the piece from all perspectives.

Good Luck!
