Melancholic Love Free Verse Poem

I’m looking for a writer who can capture the ache and tenderness of love in a free-verse format. The poem should carry a distinctly melancholic tone—something that lingers with quiet longing rather than grand declarations. I’m not tied to any strict line count or structure beyond free verse, but I do want vivid imagery, authentic emotion, and a clear narrative thread so the reader feels the weight of unspoken feelings.

Please send the finished poem as a clean, editable document along with a brief note on any key metaphors or motifs you chose, just so I understand your creative choices. Originality is essential: no clichés, no recycled lines—only your own words, thoughtfully arranged.
