Unrequited Love

I sit basking in the warmth of day
When I accidentally look your way.
Then I see your face turn crimson red,
And I can rightly discern from the look
What could have stimulated such a response.
But I shall never reciprocate that emotion
Atleast not where you’re concerned.

You make such a show in class
About your talent and your unique style.
But let me tell you something,
You’re as special as that pebble on the street
That gets stepped on by ever pedestrian
Who happens to pass by.

Female attention is a great way
To pamper an ego which need none.
But you keep the flattery going
Thinking you’re the man they’ll remember
Next morning
Little do you know that they’ve
Forgotten you even exited
Before they retire to bed at night.

It’s pitiful seeing you preen
And clear your throat to say something
You’re sure will make my head spin
And cause a commotion of butterflies
In my stomach.
But my heart beats only from Him.
Sadly, ‘Him’ isn’t you.
