Heartsick For You

He loved you when you didn't know. Heartsick for you. He knew not how his love to show. Heartsick for you. Forever will his love be true. Beyond compare. He has been hit by Cupid's bow. Heartsick for you. You do not understand his love. Divinely fine. And he can almost see it grow. Heartsick for you. Perhaps, Dear One, he should step back. His love too bold. Convince the wind his love to blow. Heartsick for you. Arthur would die without the one for whom he yearns. He never wants to let you go. Heartsick for you. Written March 12, 2016

This was great Joyce. And it almost felt like a response poem to my Lion Within example. You kept it third person all the way through, allowing you to make introspective comments about your character. Well done! Congrats on your HM! Thanks for participating and I hope you enjoyed this form :)
