The Shame of Unrequited Love

Shouts of longing
emit from me like the bright lights of a mother’s SUV;
I annoy you.

My longing is the Sun.
It hits You, The Mirror,
and ricochets off to create a rainbow;
because love is beautiful, because love is colorful.

Despite this ruckus of pure emotion,
you continue forward,
as if nothing is happening around you -
because even the loudest love
goes unheard when sent
to the wrong pair of ears.

Not a whine, not a whisper,
no soundwave makes it through.
You soundproofed your heart to me,
(only me).
I bang on the walls to be let in,
but my fists are just too small
to make an impact;

I can’t reach you.
