Belong To Me

My love for you has always been in my heart,

no matter the years we've been apart.

Our past continually replays in my mind,

I wish for magic every time.

 

Many nights, as I lay in bed, alone,

I'd imagine you sleeping at home.

I wanted nothing, but happiness, for you,

after all that you had been through.

 

When I thought you had a wife,

I would try to picture your life.

Her face, I would try to "see",

but the face I saw, belonged to me.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the poem. Some people won't leave our mind and heart. I like the way you told the story in the poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

The ones we let go always seem to return and haunt us. This poem holds hope that maybe true love will prevail.

very nicely written.

[Mark D. Chevalier]

This speaks to me of unrequited love, or a love that has somehow been "On hold" for an extended period of time. I see sadness, but also some measure of sweetness, mixed with a "Stiff upper lip" mentality.
Nicely versed, and well measured. Great poem!
