Oh like a hot, terrible sword,
Her words pierced his very heart,
The love he gave was unrequited,
His whole world just fell apart.

He longed for intimate connection,
But, alas, there was simply none,
Pain and sadness then engulfed him,
There was no place for him to run.

True love seemed ever so evasive,
A longed for goal not once achieved,
He had so much love to give another,
Yet why could it never be received?

Was he really that so undeserving,
Had past sins marked him with an x,
Doomed to a sad life of solitude,
An invisible cage leaving him vexed?

Now he was growing old and so tired,
But somehow he'd find the strength,
He just refused to give up on love,
Perhaps he'd still find it at length.
