A/N:

Okay, so here I am again for my second poem. It's kinda related to my recently added fic Just a Note but it can still stand alone. This is something I submitted for one of my subject courses as a Communication student and I hope that you'll like this one.

Dedicated to those who have an unrequited love. More holding-on power to us!

Hopeless

Shajira

I think of you, you think of her

I smile at you, you smile only for her

I look at you, you have eyes only for her

Will you listen if I say I love you?

It's so stupid of me not to think of letting go

When in fact there's nothing to hold on to

What am I to you compared to her?

I'm just a girl, so foolishly loving you.

I keep on thinking about our days together

Those used-to-bes, those yesterdays of laughter

They may bring me smiles, something I call bitter

Can't you even recall whom you are with in those memories I wanna hold forever?

This pain in my heart keeps growing

I'm just always beside you, but you can't seem to see me

Is it your way of asking me to tune down my heart's beating?

Maybe I should stop now, and forever enclose this love inside me...

Love is said to be a sweet misery. I should've known it to be cariogenic. Now I have to deal with heart decay.
