Love to Die for

One day my dear, you will find I am not here.

You will want me then, you will of then care.

 

Someday dear you will cry as you will call my name.

You will reach for my hand, but feel a dead man.

And sadly you will thin find that I didn't die in shame.

 

Someday the pain will leave me, and in it will I leave,

You for evermore shall see, my love to you was free.

 

Someday he will mistreat you,

and then you will think of me.

All the years we spent apart.

just to kill this, my lonely heart.

 

If you loved me then why did you wait so long to tell me?

For now my love is for ever gone, I aways loved you with glee.

For now I lay in my golden coffin and sleep as they carry me away.

To you I know you loved me just not that way, just now I most utterly pay.

Critique: (For now my love is for ever gone) forever

Review: I am reminded that in the book of life, the chapter on relationships is the largest one. From it we learn how others have walked through the minefield of a relationship and survived even if some what mangled. You have just added another page to that chapter and hopefully others will take heed and learn from your experience and insights. Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Do we wish for those who loved us too late to feel pain and regret? This poem makes me wonder...
All in all I loved it. It's gentle but forceful, fraught with love but very sad. Beautifully written.

Another sad, but heartfelt writing.
