Notes About The Poem

The Love of My Life

The love of my life did not love me,
And I have pined for him these long lonely years.

He did not see the many tears I have cried,
Why, oh why, did he not care about me?

Now he has died and I am lonelier still.

Your poem well describes the love that never bloomed. You did all you could.
