A Love

A love

A love, a love, a love I once had,
The boy it was who made me so sad,
“I love you not” he said,
Many nights I’ve wished myself dead,
Pining, pining, pining away I have,
This love has drove me half-mad,
Brown eyes and hair, I took the dare,
I felt almost like a bird, then came the word,
“I love you not” said he,
He had no idea how much it hurt me,
Too much for words to describe,
Too much that I can’t push my emotions aside,
Too much that it’s caused me to cry,
Too much that emotionally I’m all dry,
Many times his face haunts me,
How I so long to be free!
To unshackle these chains of tortured love,
And see myself off like an innocent dove,
No more I can say of this,
For fear I may reminisce,
About that day too sad,
Since a love, a love, a love I once had.
