Unrequited Love!!!

(This is a poem I wrote quite a long while ago to enter into a contest, which I have refined since that time. It was my first and only poem written without rhyme. It is the aftermath of a heart shattering moment. When one (the man in this case) finds out that the one he loves doesn't love him, as such, and maybe never really loved him, at all. She has come to realize that he's not the one, that for him, there's no romantic love there, and therefore she must cut off all ties, no matter how much he begs, pleads, and confesses his love for her, no matter, how much it hurts him. It may be rather callous and savage to do as so, but to end things, permanently, this she must do or risks leaving him faint glimmers of hope, so to snuff out all possible hope, she must crush him and crush all dreams of what they could have or could have had. All memories of anything good - between them - that he did have must be tainted with the sour, rotten, toxic, taste of pain... His heart will be broken and he left devastated, but it'll all be over, all hope killed, binds destroyed and ties severed!!! Written to be more of a proformance piece. So, what do you think;)

UNREQUITED LOVE!!!

"But I love you," he cried,
wallowing in the pain of what she just told him.
"I LOVE YOU," "I LOVE YOU," "I LOVE YOU," "DAMMIT," "DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND,"
she not paying him any attention, not listening, at all.
"I LOVE YOU,"even louder he cries,
hoping that the loudness and emotion of his voice might sway her, make her see.
She turns away, tapping her foot, impatiently, as if to say,
"GET AWAY!" "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
And with vigorous persistence, still, he echoes, "But I LOVE YOU!"
She begins to walk away.
And in a furious rush of emotion, he screams, "LEAVE!" "OK THEN," "LEAVE!" "JUST LEAVE,"
While, in his heart, once again, still saying, "I love you," (fadingly) "I love you," (ever more fadingly) "I love you," (realizing, now, that his chances to save things are fading away and out)...
And with one last, loud, cry of his heart he screams, longingly, "COME BACK!!!"
But her interest is just not there and she's closed her ears to his cries and her heart to his emotions.
She fades, into the distance, and he closes his heart to the pain...
