Original Submission by BARZA BATHOOL

One sided love

I gaze at the setting sun

Sinking deep into the sea

Falling drops trace silent streaks

Carving sorrow down my cheeks

The wind came to comfort

But gave up as it came forth

You wounded my feelings gently

Unaware of the heartache you caused You are my hearts most desire

The lost piece of my souls entire

I’ve fallen deeply with no end,

Lost in the abyss of my heart’s desire Eventually I wipe my tear’s

Just as I’ve endured through, all those years
