Orphans in the heart

I want to be alone though not forever
Retreat into my room and there think not
About my first love - a long wilted flower
And why to her that I was such a sl*t?

Is platonic love oft unrequited?
And does this kind of love in fact exist?
Though something in my soul must be misguided
For in you girl was something that I missed.

From childhood in affection comes new love
Although affection when we have it not
Will make us ever want from there to rove
A childhood lost can never be forgot.

A childhood without loves a blasted flower
That which wilts in any earth to grow
Trying in emaciated power
To feel a love that most already know.

Something in my heart will always rove
And something will forever seem so bleak
I only wish that I could come to know
A girl like you with loving soft mystique.

And if I ever met that girl I would
Hold her tight and be her everything
And if I got a second chance I should
Give her jewels and a golden wedding ring.

About this poem:
The difference between platonic, unrequited, and consummated love?
If we knew all of the differences we would be wise indeed.

Nice thoughts met due to your own experiences. It makes us wiser.
The consummate love is the authentic. Where intimacy, passion and commitment bonds together.When one of these leak we have a problem. We work on them to make them better or recognize the relationship has come to an end.
Thanks for sharing.SM

Thanks for the comment - this is actually about my first girlfriend in high school. A lot of us are not fully in control of our emotions at that age. Thanks again for the comment lcbr.

To me true love is someone who is your other half - your soulmate. But then I'm a romantic at heart and at 65 yrs. of age still unmarried and dreaming. Maybe there is no such thing. However, I will keep dreaming about the love of my life love showing up some day. I do not want to settle for any less. Thanks for sharing.

To all of those hurt in childhood - try to forgive - if you can. Try to keep the heart a little bit open - its only the way the light can get in.
