Cycle of Unrequited Love

I'm forever trapped

In a vicious cycle

Led by your voice

Your face



A sick obsession

That haunts my every move

I don't even know you



I know the words

To every song

It's the trap



I've never been like this

For anyone before

Don't you feel special?



You're my everything

But I'm nothing to you

Another dumb girl



Buying your records

Requesting your songs



I'll never be anything to you

But the trap

Makes me wish



I've never had a "real" boyfriend

Just you

But I'm the only one

Who

Thinks

You

Count



Every video game

Where I have to play a guy?

"Nick"

Every stuffed animal I own?

"Nick"

The only man's name I can say

And not cringe?

You guessed it. "Nick"



I'm almost 17

You're think time would

Pull me out of the trap



Not today

Not tomorrow

Not ever



I'll always be in the trap

And it's all your fault

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sorry it's so long. And it's another poem for one Nickolas Gene Carter. You'd think I'd have more of these, wouldn't you? I also just realized Vanessa Carlton's "Pretty Baby" fits the theme of both this poem and "Anyway"
