Conversation With My Heart Poem by Donald R Wolff JR

Can you tell me what to do- Will you tell me what to say
My world was over her that morning- On the eve of All Soul's Day
She would canary in our shower- I enjoyed her happy play
Always drove me kind of crazy- With I love you every day

Now one year behind us- And the bed still faintly smells of her
I have been singing in her memory- With a feeling and a stir
Still, I can remember- The way she annoyed me with her touch
Moving all my things around- While making such a fuss

Sometimes I wake calling her- As I reach for a warming hug
Then before too long realize- I did not want her gentle love
You know, I received a letter- It reads, she would like to have her cat
Perhaps when she returns for him- She will ask for our love back

Nonetheless, why would I want her- She cleaned the house way too much
You know, when I think of it- I kind of miss that loving touch
How is it that I miss her- After all this time has gone by
I hardly ever think of her- Only when it's quiet in my mind

Yes, My Heart, it's over- Solely in a dream shall we wander back
I've hurt the spirit that once loved us- She merely seeks her silly cat
She is a longing in our memory- A desire within you, My Heart
Don't torment with thoughts of yesterday-
Leave the past there in the dark

Really, Love is an illusion- I know a heart will always lie
So why is it raining just to think of her-
Fake tear drops from my eyes
