Theme: The painful experience of giving love to someone who cannot reciprocate it, hence turning into another life lesson.
In a world where stars gleam and burn,
I seek not pity, nor sorrow in return.
The universe extended its hands to me,
Whispering lessons I had not wished to see.
It offered a blessing, rare and divine,
Guiding me gently through its grand design.
I was alarmed, a quiet concern—
What if my heart never wanted to learn?
These lessons arrive as unwelcome gifts,
Each one a wound that memory sifts.
And in your shadow, the daylight grew thin,
A silence surrounding, a cage I stood in.
I walked with care, my steps weighed with fear,
Till truth unveiled itself, sharp and clear:
You held me distant, colder than stone,
As if I were a tale already been told.
In your eyes I searched for a place to be,
But found no reflection belonging to me.
Our time together felt heavy, constrained—
A burden endured, not a joy sustained.
Imagine the ache—can you truly see?
To be unseen where I longed to be.
I wove small moments to kindle your flame,
Yet I still remained an untitled page in your name.
