Joseph Cross - The Unlover

I''m in love and I don't know why,
In love with someone who doesn't love me.
Not in that way at least.
She will never love me that way.
Fear has consumed her,
Fear of pain, heartache, disappointment.
Fear of me and all that I have and will become.
I am a mistake in her eyes,
And though I long for her,
She will never understand.
Though I try to move on,
I never have succeeded,
For the pain only grows,
As my love becomes obsession,
And I am lost to chaos,
For she will never love me.

Joseph Cross
