In shadows cast by the moon above,
A heart beats silently for unrequited love.
Whispers of hope in the still of night,
Dreams of a love that never takes flight.
Longing gazes, words left unsaid,
Tears hidden in a heart misled.
Aching with a love that cannot be,
Yearning for a love that will set free.
Echoes of a love that will not claim,
In the silence, whispers of a forgotten name.
Unspoken desires in a soul adrift,
A love unreturned, a painful gift.
In the dance of night, a silent plea,
For a love that was never meant to be.
