Unworthy...

Back after a long time... And that too with a poem i read on insti NB... posted by one of our super-seniors... I liked it and so here it goes... Again, complete credit to the original writer and i am just reposting the poem here...


Unworthy

Unworthy is he, who loves and is not loved
He knows, but feigns he has not erred

A smile on the lips, a prayer in the heart
The unlikely signs of a painful dart

Struck deep in the soul, profusely bleeding
And yet he labours, the agony unheeding

Every waking hour, spent selflessly caring
Every sleepless night he's desperately preparing

For the day when the world will at last fall apart
A gentleman, more worthy, will lay claim to her heart

She'll find joy, he hopes, in those fortunate arms
And forever be glad in his unwitting charms

She will find true happiness and all will be well
The hole in his heart will make life hell

The pain of knowing, what's his, couldve been mine
Will kill him daily, ten days out of nine

Knowing all that was ever needed, was to say it out loud
To speak to her heart, to shut out the crowd

And persist in the meaning, the living of love
To prove how he'd be there to tide out the rough

To prove how no other, could ever come close
To being her man, there'd be plenty of those

Those who would try to read her heart
Those who would try to play the part.

But there's only one, who has lived in her heart
Who talks to her heartbeat, who nurses the dart

She thinks she'll be happy, one man is like any other
Deep inside she knows, a heart has but one tether

More often than not, at the choice she will falter
And knowing full well, two lives she will alter

And both with a smile, join the hordes of pretenders
And endure the good life with their hearts in fetters

To this sad tale, im afraid theres no end
The victim, mind you, is always a friend

The love among friends is something to be seen
But some friendships, my friend, should never have been
