The Answer
Though I sit here pondering ( brooding),
The question remains unspoken…
For reasons unknown to anyone
Except you.
Unrequited love
That was shared between us,
Only existing within the depths
Of my broken heart.
Still yet no harm do I wish upon thee,
For a lesson has been learned.
Just how cruel and unrelenting
A nightingale can be.
So now the past is buried
As the Phoenix rises once again.
Bringing forth an answer…
Yes, bringing me the answer.
