You Shed Your Tears For Her Poem by Francis Duggan

You shed your tears for her yet she is doing all right
She is making love to another tonight
Of love the poets write and the singers do sing
But love it is not always a blissful thing
Unrequited love has it's heartaches as some have reason to say
Love does have it's sorrows since life is this way
The one that you love your feelings may not share
In the Human World unrequited love is not even rare
She loves someone else about that nothing you can do
Why yearn for the love of one who does not love you
She sleeps with another why for her shed tears
Unrequited love it can linger for years
There are nasty thorns on the stem of the rose
Not that unlike life one would have to suppose.
