"unrequited love" a poem

**Ummu Sufyaan** · 05-12-2009

I want you lot to figure this out...clue: it has nothing to do with what it seems...

you come to me beatified on a silver plate
yet cunning and burdensome, in my heart you have taken your place

a mad love I possess
to one who couldn't care less

A deluded love I confess
A love shared by the thousands

through you, iam constantly tried,
you've snatched me, its as if I've been swept by a power tide

sinking deeply underneath
a weight you are, pressing intensely upon me

to my cries (for help) you are headless
and against you i find myself powerless

a strange reaction, is it not, for a love unrequited?

and still despite my knowledge of your cunningness
I will be constantly be besotted by your beauty

and from your silver plate
your forbidden fruits I will take

a strange reaction, is it not, for a love unrequited?

begone away from me O cunning beauty
lest my deluded love (for you) destroys me

Love of the dunya, I'm guessing..?

^yeps...but what made you think that?

Mainly these lines:

-A love shared by the thousands
-and against you i find myself powerless

But the whole general idea is clear, I guess.. Lovely poem, btw, mashaAllah.
