MIDTERM ASSESSMENT/QUIZ #2
Create your own monologue.
“I love you. And I know that you don’t love me back. And that’s okay
because I can’t make you love me. But I am here with you and there is
nobody or nowhere else I’d rather be. Apparently, you can ignore it, or
maybe fate is sick and Cupid only hit me. So I love you even you don't. I
love you and I can’t stop it. It is absolutely painful because you don’t
feel the same way for me. And I know even if you did, we’d never work
out because we're not meant to be. We're scared of society because
our love is considered a sin. I tried to unlove you, I made myself busy.
Trust me, I wish I could forget you. I wish I hated you instead, or just
didn’t care at all. But I can’t stop. You could break my heart ten times
over and I wouldn’t be able to stop. I don’t understand why but it’s just
a fact. I will give you my last breath, yet receive nothing. Love holds no
debt, yet unrequited, it will leech the very life from someone, and
reduce them to nothing in your eyes. I shall drive myself into the
ground for you, to see you succeed. Yet my descent only makes me
less visible to you.
There is no balance in this romance. You only have eyes for me while
I'm thriving, yet my eyes for you drain the deepest of my reserves. I’ll
always wonder why I’m not good enough. Maybe one day I’ll stop,
finally get over it, but for now, I’m stuck here never being able to get
over you. I can’t move on, I can’t stop hurting, I can’t stop loving you. I
don’t know if I’ll ever feel this way about someone again, or if I manage
to get over you if I even want to because I don’t ever want to be
crushed like this again. Because I love you. And you don’t love me.
