If you had loved me...

If you had loved me,
Half as much as I love you,
That would have been quite intolerable,
Even to myself.

If you had ever looked at me, with the intensity
Of my hungry stares,
I would have probably felt
My soul clench within
My migrant heart as well.

There ought to be no justice
In love
As in life

And as in life
A poetic pause
Need not always precede
The sullen cry
Of the unloved.
