Modern Love Poem by Roger Bewman

I do want to fall in love
I wish to blend in
Get emotions groovin’

I catch the winter flu
fever don’t hesitate
I’m standing in your yard
But I never see you outside

But I try, I try

There’s no sign of love
It’s just my imagination
I’m callin’ you again
But I never hear your voice

But I try, I try

Now I know I am not the one
Modern love – imposes restraints on my heart
Modern love – laughs with me
Modern love – wakes me up in pain
Love on time - terrifies me
Love on time - makes me wonder
Love on time – makes me feel so sad
Feel so sad - no regrets
Feel so sad - no compassion
Feel so sad – don’t believe in modern love

It’s not really love
It’s just my imagination
I’m callin’ you again
But I never here your voice

But I try, I try
