spared of my love; you did not know

you didn't know
i loved you
and you didn't know
i lost you
you never loved me
or if you did
it was in the muted way
of longing
that i specialize in
what a tragedy that would
be
you didn't know 
when i fell head over
heels, obsessed with you
you didn't reel when i
let you go
how kind of me to know
how tragic loving is
how i saved you so
you grew ten times tall
spared of my love
you did not know
