Love's Requiem







Love's Requiem





When I am dead, encased in dirt,

With the concrete slab in place,

You may then know grief and a hopeless despair,

But for me there won't be a trace.

For I shall have peace and I won't feel a thing,

Though you kneel at my grave through the night.

Maybe then you can learn what true loneliness is,

And what loving a cold heart is like.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

It would be obvious to anyone who has ever been involved in a cold relationship, that my motive for this poem was unrequited love.  The fact that I was married to the object of that love only made it worse.
