The Weight of One-sided Love

 Have you ever loved someone one-sided : 

 The Weight of One-Sided Love

In the quiet corners of a lonely heart,  

Where love blooms unrequited, torn apart,  

A single thread of hope weaves joy and pain,  

A dance of longing in a gentle rain.

Why can't a man hold steadfast to one light,  

And not wander in the shadowed night?  

For one-sided love, a bittersweet refrain,  

Each tear a story, each smile in vain.

Yet in the end, this love, though unreturned,  

Teaches the self, a lesson deeply learned.  

To love oneself, a gift from sorrow's art,  

And see the world anew, a naked heart.

The beauty lies in finding strength to stand,  

To love yourself, to hold your hand.  

In every tear, a lesson softly sown,  

One-sided love leads to a heart full-grown.
