A Pattern of Unrequited Love


What is love, that it runs from me?  It eludes me, and I grow frustrated.  In my loneliness I am tortured by watching nearly everyone I know enter love relationships, engagements, and marriages.  There must be something wrong with me — some affliction that causes me to be unlovable.  I wish I knew what it was so I could fix it.  I find a chance to finally be loved, but it's always pulled away from me.  I feel as if God is laughing at me as He pulls them away, saying, "You can never have such treasure."  I know it's sinful of me to think of God in such a way, but nevertheless that's how I feel; which is forgotten, meaningless, unwanted, inadequate, and unlovable.  And God's not doing anything about it, despite my years of prayer.
