Unrequited


I love her without reserve, committed.
I’ve gladly bowed to her will, submitted.

Yet she would see me drowned despite,
or left lying lame in a shivering night.

She lends no hand when I am crawling,
she stares stonily at my ugly bawling.

My tears pool at her feet unheeded,
she is unmoved, though I have pleaded.

Without forgiveness for my blundering,
exquisite Nature has left me wondering

How to reconcile respect with disdain,
and where to turn when love means pain?
