You Don't Love Me, but Ah! Do I Love You

January 27, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is unrequited love.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem expressing the jealousy a spurned lover might feel:

You don't love me, but ah! do I love you!

It kills me that right now you have another!

Each day I watch the antics of you two

Happy hopping birds and say, why bother?

But I am chained to you as fish to sea,

Or as the moon to Earth, or Earth to sun.

The thought of letting go so tortures me

That I would rather let my anguish run.

I know that if I wait you will be mine.

Such love as this must sweep all walls away!

I am your natural light, and I will shine

Till due rotation turns your night to day.

Until then, this sorrow will remain:

My hope of joy must be my source of pain.
