one sided love

Alone
not lonely
living life fully
looking
watching
willing to wait
wondering what it would be like to love again
it had been so long
afraid of running out of time
love did come for an instant
just a fleeting glimpse of what could be
dreams
empty as a heart
beaten black and blue
broken
glass shards
lacerating walls
blue to red
inside out
gasping for oxygen
escaping the trapping confines
of one sided love
