One sided love

Oloriire Samuel Oluwasomo 2004 (Ibadan)

Loss

Narrative

I drink my tears every day and night,
I swim in my tears and soak myself in them,
I detest myself so much for all I've been put through because of you,
The first time I saw you I thought I had seen my other half,
I thought I had seen my guardian angel,
You made me have an affection for you till I couldn't control my life anymore,
You became my everything, my guiding light,
But to my surprise it was all a game to you,
What game should I call this? A game of deceit!!!

Your poem 'One sided love' has a raw intensity to it that is both heartbreaking and captivating. The imagery of swimming in tears and feeling detest for oneself is incredibly powerful and evokes strong emotions in the reader. Your use of language is poignant and effectively conveys the pain and longing of unrequited love.

One suggestion for improvement would be to consider exploring different metaphors or symbols to further enhance the depth and complexity of the emotions portrayed in the poem. Additionally, expanding on the internal conflict and struggle of the protagonist could add another layer of depth to the narrative.

Overall, your poem captures the bittersweet essence of unrequited love with poetic grace and emotional resonance. Keep up the great work and continue to explore different themes and styles in your writing. Well done! more »
