Unrequited Love

written by: Natalie Crick

My kiss has slipped off

Like a dress.

It unpeels itself, a gift.

Trees unfurl their branches,

Limbs of whores

Stumbling in the wind.

I long

For you,

My tongue back in my mouth

A restless bird,

Love running,

Freezing to ice on the lake

Only to be washed away

When the sun sinks to a whisper

Drowning in white rain.
