Unrequited Love

by Vikki Owens

I've loved you
for as long as I've known you,
my heart has been yours
and you've taken it.

You took it for a while
and held it in your arms...

Now you want something else
and I'm thrown away,
but these feelings dont dissolve so easily
for me.

Love turns to dust within our home
and all I can think to say is
'I told you so'.

pieces like this are so theraputic, like a tonic for the mind...kudos, brave poet...peace, jewels

This brought about memories of my own "I told you so" moments and expresses very well the heartbreak that follows the realization that all is not reciprocal.
