One-Sided Love Poetry – 10 Poems about Wanting Someone You Can’t Have

Truly there is One-Sided Love Poetry for when you are longing for someone you can’t Have

The world around us has conditioned us into believing that falling in love with someone is the most beautiful feeling one can have the fortune of experiencing.

No love song seems melodious enough; no poem poignant enough to put into words how wonderful love is. An ineffable emotion.

But most people conveniently leave out the tiny detail of how falling in love is amazing and exhilarating and the best damn thing to have happened to you ONLY when the other person feels the same and reciprocates all that you’re feeling for them. These Poems describe exactly how that feels

1. Title: “I’d Choose You”

You were my choice
Many years ago
We declared our love….
Told the whole world so.

We chose the song
Set the date
To make it “just you ‘n me”
We could hardly wait

Starting over again
Is after the fact
There is not a way
For me to go back.

Reliving my life
Is something I can’t do.
But, if I could,
I’d still choose you

2. Title: “One Sided Love”

With all my heart, I loved you true,
Now shattered, falling, feeling blue.
Your shadow crosses, a painful sign,
Love and life in pieces, no longer aligned.

Tension builds, a storm inside,
A feeling lingers, as if you lied.
This story nears its bitter end,
Our relationship takes a downward bend.

Words exchanged, a senseless dance,
Asking to be friends, a painful circumstance.
From you, I’ve heard this absurd,
Not what I deserve, love deferred.

The damage done won’t easily mend,
Severe destruction, a heartache to tend.
Our love descended, a sad descent,
I’m left loving you alone, one-sided lament.

3. Title: “Love is…”

Love is good and love is bad
Love is happy sometimes sad
Love is nothing, love is all
But into love, we always fall

Love is cruel but mostly kind
And to some, love is blind
Love is give and love is take
Love is something that we make

Love is kisses and sweet embraces
And touching all those erotic places
Love is tainted, love is pure
And love is pleasure – thats for sure

Love can break your heart in two
It can also be a dream come true
Love is neither big or small
Yet love it seems can conquer all

4. Title: “Echoes of the Heart”

Within my heart, a silent plea,
For you, who hears not, can’t you see?
My love, a waterfall unseen,
In your world, I’m but a serene.

Whispers of my plea persist,
Unheard, unseen, a subtle twist.
In dreams alone, our souls unite,
A love unreturned, a silent plight.

Echoing in chambers, a lonely song,
My heart beats for you, longing strong.
Silently grown, this love we’ve known,
A garden of feelings, on my own.

In the quiet realms of my desire,
A flame of love, unquenched fire.
Yet, you stand unaware, standing tall,
In my heart’s echo, your name a call.

5. Title: “Until”

I never imagined a single smile could bring
Such warmth and light, a radiant spring.
Your smile, a beacon in my days,
Making each moments beautiful in ways.

Someone entered, and life transformed,
With caring ways and touch that warmed.
Love’s depth, I never fathomed before,
But in giving my heart, it grew forevermore.

In your laughter, I found a melody,
A symphony of joy that sets me free.
With every shared moment, my world anew,
Your presence, my love, forever true.

Through highs and lows, you’ve been my guide,
In your love, a haven where my fears subside.
Each day with you, a chapter to renew,
An endless love, forever and true.

6. Title: “Connection”

In well-being, love flows effortlessly,
Expressed through actions that truly care,
Verbalizing emotions from our heart’s decree,
Taking for granted this power to share.

When body and mind endure hardship’s sting,
The truth emerges, always present and aware.
Surface connections can’t stand the suffering,
Revelations unfold, united by our spirit.

It’s only then that love becomes profound,
The simple displays of affection unwound.
Raw, soul-deep connection prevails,
In feeling this, words become mere details.

Amidst affliction, a silent blooms,
Deeper than words, it forever looms.
In shared suffering, a bond that cannot fray,
Love’s essence revealed in a profound display.

7. Title: “Unseen Shadows”

In shadows, my love quietly stays,
An unseen watcher in mysterious ways,
For you, my heart’s clandestine queen,
In your light, my presence is always unseen.

From a distance, I admire your grace,
In my thoughts, I trace your face.
Yet in your world, I find no space,
My love, a silent, hidden embrace.

Unnoticed, my affection remains,
In the quiet corners where love sustains.
Loving you in subtle arrays,
In shadows, through the unseen days.

A silent observer, keen and mild,
Within the shadows, a love compiled.
From afar, my heart’s refrain,
A secret love, silent and unseen.

8. Title: “A Stronger Love”

Perhaps the Lord can shape a world,
Where hopes and dreams unfurl.
A realm where fears cease to near,
And reality aligns with what’s clear.

In a world like this, a possibility could be,
A bond stronger for you and me.
Fostering a love more robust and true,
Growing, evolving in all we do.

That’s my sole desire,
To deepen our care, to aspire.
For you, a love resilient and near,
Stronger in every way, my dear.

In the tapestry of time, our love will weave,
A story of strength that nothing can deceive.
Through challenges faced, and joyous display,
A love, growing with each passing day.

9. Title: “Reflections on Reality”

The hardest thought with loving you
is one of loss.
The strongest pain in loving you,
is the fear of nothingness.

Who in this overcrowded world,
Could fill the empty void,
if made to wander mind disturbed
without you by my side?

Life started with you, so shall end.
Memories power pulling strong,
Would make existence all alone,
Purgatory, underestimate.

So, where there’s life, My Love and I
Will live it to its full,
Well nourish, feed, protect, preserve.
With the greatest tenderness.

10. Title: “The Unspoken Bond”

Within my heart, a steadfast tie,
To you, my soul does comply.
Unspoken words, a song unsung,
In one-sided love, my heart is strung.

Your smile, a sun in my day,
Your laughter, a star in my night’s display.
Yet, you’re unaware, out of sight,
In this concealed love, I find my light.

I hold you dear from afar,
With persistent affection, like a guiding star.
In my love, a relentless persistence,
A bond unspoken, an enduring existence.

Silently, my feelings persist,
In the recesses of a love unassisted.
One-sided yet strong, my heart’s insistence,
In this hidden love, with quiet subsistence.

Fill yourself up with love, instead. Rather than romanticizing the idea of being in love with another person, why don’t you romanticize your own life? Live life the way you want to.

Go out with friends, kiss strangers in clubs, dance in the rain, go on a spontaneous trip all by yourself, and be kind to yourself and others around you.

It’s nice to have someone by your side in the passenger seat as you speed along with life, but always remember that it’s your ride and you ought to make the most of it whether you have someone to share it with or not.
