Love denied feels like a stab in the heart,

An open wound that refuses to heal,

I wonder why I had hope at first,

It felt so right and I was so happy,

But throughout the year and months before,

I have looked and searched to no avail,

Is this how true love works?

To see them be denied?

Is this my fate? To long then be discarded?

I have never felt this and I truly wanted it,

Maybe in my longing,

I exposed my desire,

And temptation like the devil,

Sought to ensnare me,

So I stand here gutted,

Upset and defeated.
