Call It Unrequited by ~screwball:iconscrewball:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


He called it honesty;
Was sincerely fond
In spite of all she wasn\'t
And so many things she was
He found repelling.

She called it cruelty;
He wasn\'t fond enough
To call it love.

love poems intended to reflect actual relationships between men and women. Love poems about reality. About the tensions between the sexes... the different platforms males and females stand on to look at the world

Boy, I love the way you can condense things and still tell a story without a lot of flowery words.


In spite of all she wasn't
And so many things she was
