Analysis of Never

Nichola "Nicki" Topolnicki 1972 (Colorado Springs, Colorado)



Have you ever loved…one-way?
Knowing your love will never…be mine…
You don’t see me…
I stand in the shadows…
My rapture…ardency….love…

I ache for you…
Your eyes are hollow…
Loneliness envelopes you…
Wishing it was me…

Why am I left alone in this hell…
Seeing your emptiness from afar…
Knowing your love will never be mine

Have you ever loved…one-way?
It eats you up inside…controls you…
To see you..your face…your face….your touch…
Knowing your love will never be mine…

I’ll never feel your love…
She knows not what she has…
I can’t breathe—why am I alone…alone…ALONE?????
Why can’t I have you…?
Tortured inside…
Knowing your love will never be mine…
Never be mine---your love….I’ll never know it…
No….never…never…never….

About this poem

This poem is like the first line says...loving someone, desiring them, but they don't even know you exist. Have you ever loved---- one-way? Seeing them with someone else... Got to be one of the most painful kinds of love...
