My Love, My Love Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

My love, my love where hast thou gone?
I have missed you so much, now we're done.
You were but a breath away, yet you left.
For your youth has made your ears deaf.
You long for adventure and don't want to tie
your love to only one, yet you'll probably lie
close to many more before you are ready..
Remember me once before you make one steady.

My love, my love you've hurt me some
and have made my life a little numb.
If only you could understand me though
that I'd not ever forget the love we'd known.
You did enter my life and gave me sight
I had not known before however slight.
For you never could stay with me knowing
you would wander to and fro always going.

My love, my love do you know what I feel.
Like a bird that flies feverishly, ready to reel
to some deep and dark shadow unknown,
a place where lovers should ne're be shown.
There is much for you to see and ponder
as you walk this world alone and wonder
whether the girl you left could have been
the girl you'd marry should she condescend.

My love, my love why didst thou go now
that my eyes should not behold your brow
or kiss those lips so much given to me?
You mean more to me now can't you see?
Was I too selfish to want love you could give?
Or is it you're days aren't days you can live?
You're gone now but will you ever be back here
to the girl that loves you and wants you near?
