I sat there yet again
Alone without a friend
I’d been sitting there all day
Pretending I was okay
My reality was in a twist
My hand became a fist
And the clock ticked on
Time would soon be gone
I felt my heart bleed
His face was the seed
The seed of the pain
The reason I was going insane
His voice put me in a trance
He walked right by without a glance
Time kept speeding by
Soon I would say ‘good bye’
My stomach flipped around
Courage no where to be found
My blood started to pump
My heart started to thump
I was scared to death
I couldn’t take a breath
The sun finished its climb
It soon would be my time
I hate that I love him
I filled a cup to the brim
Full of poison and wine
I sat down to dine
A romantic evening alone
My heart like a stone
The end was oh so near
My time was almost here
I fell to the ground
Without a sound
An angel soon descended
To carry away the girl who pretended
That she was all right
But gave up without a fight
Finally the clock is still

How unrequited love can lead to death. A tale told in a delicate yet realistic way.
