This Painful Poem About One Sided Love Shows How Heartbreak Is An Aching Luxury

It’s easy falling in love. But falling out of love is tough. You get to choose the friends you make along the way, but do you get to choose who you’ll fall in love with? No.

And what if the person you are dreaming about day and night doesn’t love you back? But how rude is your heart, heavy it will still keep caring. So broken, it will put on a smile.

Read this poem by written by Mahima on one-sided love, that will give you a heartache.

Some days my love abandons me,
a lover who refuses to say I love you back.
my love isn’t a choice, it never was,
it has filled up pages, and entire diaries
through lost pens and ink refills,
but never on my terms.

my love doesn’t want me back sometimes,
it says here is your pens
and here is your blank page,
but the words aren’t coming,
the words called in sick today,
it says I don’t care how you feel.

my love is unrequited, it says
today you love without love,
and haven’t you already learned
to hate yourself?

my love is a moon gazer, a chain smoker,
a drunkard on weekdays; my love swallows
Bukowski and keeps begging for more.

my love says I’m quitting on you today,
and laughs in my face because it knows
I could never say that back, it knows
I’m not moving an inch until it comes back,
it knows it doesn’t matter if it’s hours
or days or weeks or years.

my love finds me patient,
finds me ready to take them back,
and when we embrace,
it offers me the only thing that matters,
it says, here, I got you your words back.

But you know what, true love will come along, sometimes it’s just about hanging on to the feeling.
