Notes About The Poem

For contest

Let Love Be

Right now I lay me down to sleep
Sing Beetles great song “Let It Be”

I’m troubled with insomnia 
Sleep is a dream can’t get enough 

Life is good I can’t complain 
I have shelter from the blue rain

Wish I had love but I’m content
It is enough to pay my rent

For love came in a narcissist 
Wasn’t the same there was a twist

He seemed real as he love bombed me
Was a thrill until truth you see

Walk away from love fantasy 
Wait for real love and let it be

All you hope for will someday come 
Be patient my dear for true one

Kim Rodrigues June 7, 2025 at 8:43 AM Those last 4 lines are great advice! Some might give you a short term thrill, but you might become bitter, alone, lost. Karen Jones June 7, 2025 at 8:48 AM Exactly! Thanks for reading and for confirmation.
