Toward An Unrequited Love

I love you - was, your confession;
Did you love me - is my question.
You came in my life like a guest;
Being with me was real test.

You had pulled each of my foot-stride;
I shaped your fumbling steps with pride.
You forsook me in times of pain;
Waning your pains had been my gain.

Your vices fail your grand values;
For you, all these, I revalue.
Did I seek anything from you?
Why my wishes for you seem new...?

I don't complain, about you, yet; 
Thank you for, all I from you, get.
Am I seized by you, I don't know;
You are a shadow that does grow. 

We give vent to our feelings;
They're, yet, like seeping on ceilings.
Do my feelings visit you night?
Consider them nightmares; sleep... tight!

I love my self; you to do yours;
Let there be, at least, no borders.
Come and go whenever you want.
Like a ghost, you can, my life haunt...!
