Ode to Unwanted Love

Alas, my love doth take its toll,
upon my heart, upon my soul

It intoxicates me, inebriates my speech,
leaves me wreck-less, feeling incomplete.

For you do not reciprocate it back,
you refuse to let my love alleviate your heart, which is black.

You push me away, you sulk in misery,
when all I want is to create with you a sweet symphony.

Why won't you let me in? Why can't we be?
Why must you steal my heart away from me?

Why must I love you with a love that burns so true?
Why must you say I don't when I wish you to say I do?
