The Unloved One

You caused this emptiness
This hollowness I feel
A burden on my aching heart
This gap I cannot seal

I kept this feeling bottled up
Now ready to explode
My steady lungs fill up with air
Just waiting to unload

All I needed was a hug from you
And it would be okay
A gentle hand upon my shoulder
Ensuring my heart wouldn't stray

But instead it all went oh so wrong
I didn't see it coming
For all you saw in me was a friend
A hope that was now numbing

So now I'll keep on hiding
What I now know to be true
That I have fallen deep in love
With wonderful, caring you
