Love Unrequited

His days are spent unbound

By the shackles of time

But even as

A being of fearsome light and life

In the beginning

His eyes were still kind

He could have left

Some say He should have left

When mankind went awry

Why waste time

On this accursed timeline

When you could start anew?

Because of love.

Love for me

Love for you.

This lamb was bled

For the world to see

His crimson essence

Left a new trail

Often left unnoticed

Unbothered

And unseen

And some taint the road

With new ideals

Befuddling beliefs

Pushing others away

From Life

True Life

So easily attained

To die

And to die selflessly

And still

These

Earthbound

Stubborn spirits

Choose not to believe?

A sacrifice made in love

Said love unrequited

Is the saddest love story

To me.
