Notes About The Poem
"She's persistent, I will give her that " . . . : /
Listen to poem:

A Dying Love Affair

No matter my endeavors; she returns every year
Whether she totally does understand my despair

To this yearly seasonal unrequited sad love affair
As to her yellow flower beauty I don't have a care

Digging up foundations ripping away at her roots
A pouring of strong weed killer we are in cahoots

Her now lifeless body lies besides me as so felled
The satisfaction to her death inside me is quelled

But, such is her love for me; she will soon return
She's not one to give up; she will not be spurned

And come next year, she will give it one more try
Pleading with me I love you don't let our love die

Her heart broken, as yet again, I hear not her cry
As yet again her lifeless body does beside me lie

Maybe next year I should just let her up and grow
And for her my dandelion, in return my love show
