A few points for consideration would be to be careful of too much repetition without necessity. For me I'm not sure the repetition of 'love' in each stanza is working, could you possibly have different word choice each time.
a melody of tears,
a symphony of longing
a tune that no-one hears.
A tale of love untold
waits sadly for an end,
the narrative not written,
still waiting for the pen.
A verse of love unrhymed,
no metaphor in place,
some lines that have no meaning
will now all be erased
I saw you with your chosen one,
all hope for me is gone.
Also the volta/turn seems a bit uneventful and somewhat expected considering all that had gone before, "I saw you kiss your chosen one" would have more of an immediate impact but doesn't necessarily solve the 'somewhat expected' issue.
It could be said that, "all hope for me is gone" is a bit cliché, what do you reckon?
Cheers for sharing
wae aye man ye radgie
