Unrequited Sacrifice, a haiku

Like a sunflower
Looking for each other but
You don’t look for me

Love is when the heart
Beats and the stomach flutters
Only to be hurt

A rose petal crushed
Only to release fragrance
Essential demise

Fear of the unknown
Steps taken, to be reversed
And then forgotten

Hoping for requite
Only to be crushed and damned
Wasted sacrifice
