Your Lover

You cannot forget him No matter how you try His image always there Adored in your mind’s eye You try hard to forget How he made your heart ache You swore that loving him Was such a bad mistake Yet, you can’t stop wanting His hands upon your skin You write loving letters Hoping his heart to win You question tomorrow Will it bring sweet reprieve? But it dawns full of pain As for his love you grieve You try on your best dress Spray on the sweetest scent Hope that you'll entice him His absence you resent You give the best you have Knowing it will not do His heart’s with another He’s not in love with you So you keep on dreaming One day he’ll see the light Be your ardent lover Through each and every night.

Some dreams are not worth hanging onto, still your poem is eloquently expressed.

Every reader brings their own interpretation to a poem....The word lover here could be in the physical sense....or a loved one....Some aspects are metaphorical....Dreams are dreams....No one can touch a dream! :)

If I had a nickel for those I've come across and ended up in similar situations. I have way too much to say on this one. But, I'll leave it at this. This was strong & filled with harsh truths. Perhaps, this can be a wake-up call to those who really, truly deserve better...

I'd love to know more, Drake....Truth can be harsh...but it is truth nevertheless....Life isn't always so simple, Drake....Situations differ...Cultures differ.....For those who have had the wake-up call...sometimes prefer to sleep than face consequences...something to think about
