Help to Wonder - Land

a lover that got left behind and moved on

 

 

I dream of you

And wait calmly for your return

Past due

Though I know my efforts could end downturned

 

You said you would be here

Now I’m alone, my way unlit

You promised not one tear

Not another hit

 

I’m gone now

To a faraway land

 To sing my song

And beseech my man

 

I dream of you

All but a memory

Faded to black, a sketchy tattoo

An old, broken love story

 

Now I’m elated

Though the way was tough

My bed is now shared

And that is enough

 

I remember how you took me

Made me into whatever

You hurt me

And that will last forever

"I remember how you took meMade me into whateverYou hurt meAnd that will last forever" I read the entire poem through, with this missing person in your life. The last lines made me wonder, why you went back to him? But isn't that the way battered women think? The song that says there is a thin line between love and hate... I guess you could say this is what your poem is protraying. Again, another gem of a poem! ks
