One-sided Love

One look

One glance and I knew

I had fallen for the enemy

And there was nothing I could do

This made me a traitor

Going against my own kind

Yet slowly my feelings

Began to take over my mind

She had to be mine

There was no other direction

But deep down, I knew

I was set for rejection

As hard as I tried

She would never return

The feeling of which

I so desperately yearn

But I never gave up

I never did give in

Even though I knew

I would never win

She had someone else

She didn't need me

I wanted to forget her

But that couldn't be

For I was stuck for life

My feelings were forever

I could never move on

Not now or ever

That boy made her happy

That much I could see

But, oh, how I wish

That that boy was me

Her repeated rejections

Caused strain on my heart

And threatened to completely

Tear it apart

Yet I went on

With a single wish

If only I could have

One true kiss

Why can't she see

That this isn't a lie?

If to save her life,

I was willing to die

I wanted us to be together

To let my love be shared

For her to return my feelings

And my suffering be spared

Yet, it would never happen

It was planned up above

That it would always be

Just a one-sided love.
