One-Sided Admiration Poem by Boston Kelley

She is like a heavenly vision
Too beautiful to gaze upon
When I look at her I am entranced
Like the glory of God
She is too beautiful to behold

I long to be her beloved
To be the admiration of her heart
But, alas, I am but a peasant to her
I am nothing

I desire to be the center of her thoughts
But I am the last thing she thinks about
I could declare love greater than any man has
And she still would reject me

She has my heart and won't let go
Yet I wish she could express the same admiration
Likewise, I must escape my romantic emotions
I must repress all passionate desires
For the pain of love is too great
