"Tigers" - Eliza Griswold and a request

[theprohibition.livejournal.com]

Poems about liking/loving someone who will never love you back?  I need something to help cope with or relate to right now.

Also, a poem in return:
"Tigers" - Eliza Griswold

What are we now but voices
who promise each other a life
neither one can deliver
not for lack of wanting
but wanting won't make it so.
We cling to a vine at the cliff's edge.
There are tigers above
and below.  Let us love
one another and let go.
