Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Coming Back Home

Can I return to you? Oh, can I please?
Only you, Darling, make me feel alive.
My heart keeps yearning. I feel such unease
In this new place. All I do is survive!
Nothing compares to what I had with you.
Great loneliness encompasses my soul.

By my side, Dear, do you want to be too?
A year has passed, and I cannot feel whole.
Crazy! I was crazy to ever leave.
Keeping sane is hard. My mind’s careening.

Heaven is you with me. That I believe!
Of home and your caresses I’m dreaming.
My love, please say you also long for me.
Endless love I pledge! With you I’ll soon be.

Victor Buhagiar February 23, 2021 at 10:50 PM After a year, I doubt he cares any more, but hopefully he might change his mind. ~~ Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2021 at 4:09 PM I was writing as if I were a man. haha. (however, I hear of women that leave their men too!)

Judy Ball February 23, 2021 at 2:58 PM A beautifully done Acrostic Andrea. Brings to mind one who left home to make a new beginning in a new place and found that home is where the heart is. Great job. God Bless, JB
