One Way Love

One Way Love

I feel like a flower,
whose petals have been blown away
I feel like the sun,
shining only in the midst of day.
I feel like a spider
trapped in a web I've weaved
I feel like a widow
yet I've never been bereaved
I feel like an hour hand
awaiting my turn, as others tick by
I feel like an ant
never did a molehill seem so high
I feel like an anchor
searching for a grip, a rock, stability
I feel like time is running out
this ship will be lost at sea.
And so this ship is lost
and I'm in search for land
Feel like the bonds we had
were written on the surface of sand
Like a book, like a trophy
I sat on a dusty shelf
One day we looked into a mirror
saw only a reflection of myself.
Though together, I was alone
the love vein to my heart, grew dust
I gave all, all the love I can give
I was loving for both of us.
