Unrequited love, I hate that phrase.
I want you to love me, but you won't.
Trying to find you love is like going through a maze,
I keep thinking I'll find the end, but I don't.
I'm stumbling in the darkness,
I only want some light.
A little hope, more or less,
To give me a reason to fight.
All this walking is making my feet sore,
I find that I'm no closer than when I began
My heart begs, "no more, no more".
I want to leave but there's no way I can.
Because you don't love me, but I love you.
So now I'm trapped in this maze with no way through.

For everything you have seen, you have missed something else. For eveything you have missed, you have gained something else. It's about your outlook on life. You either regret or rejoice.

I really liked this piece, but if you don't mind me saying, it could use a few less articles and some of your verb tenses aren't exactly clear.
