familiar the pain of the unrequited
it’s sting so dull
deep
continuous
it’s force uninvited
taking the breath until you no longer feel
clouded eyes see only the heart
weakened by time
force
weariness
it can not be smart
never thinking through things left unsaid
a face that wears tears
stained
dry
realization strikes panic, fears
forever being alone in a crowd of one
didn’t know it
