Thomas Wolfe wrote God's Lonely Man
and You Can't Go Home Again
before he ceased his sojourn on earth at age thirty-eight.
The Flower of Evil, Charles Baudelaire,
suffered from venereal disease
and was obsessed with a lesbian,
the painful realities of Paris.
Twice I made love to a girl
for whom I wanted to fall in love with
but I knew she wanted no part of it,
what choice did I have
but to let her slip through my hands?

Love that is not reciprocated or mutual is for sure a heavy distress in its bliss. A sad story in a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
