A passion of love is wasted on him

Since all he has ever done is stare through her

Like she is transparent, invisible to his eyes

And her wish is for him to look at her

In those blue eyes telling her that he loves her too

But she doesn’t know that he hardly knows her name

Though she yearns to hear it part from his lips

A soft sweet spoken voice saying Leah

You are the only girl I want in this world

She will never hear those words part from his mouth

And so soon yet so suddenly she knows that

She must not love or give it to anyone

As love is wasted on someone

Who doesn’t want her the same way

Yet she dreams for something to burn like what she reads

Or watches in movies, though all of that is fiction

Not part of reality

And she needs to know that loving someone is useless

Especially if they will never feel the same way back

She is transparent, invisible to his eyes

And her wish is to learn how to stop loving him

That was the only lesson she ever needed to learn
