My Old Lover Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.
No!
I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.

I find you right here on my mind,
When under covers.

I find I'm giving you my time,
When with another.

Although there's someone new.
Someone that is not you...
But another!
I sleep with.
And here,
As my lover.

I find you right here on my mind,
When with another.

I find I'm giving you my time,
With another lover.

Why are you on my mind?
When you told me to find,
Another...
To discover,
Since we didn't have each other.

I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.
No!
I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.

Although there's someone new.
Someone that is not you...
But another!
I sleep with.
And here,
As my lover.

Although there's someone new.
Someone that is not you...
But another!
I sleep with.
And here,
As my lover.

I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.
No!
I've yet not recovered...
From you,
My old lover.

My old lover.

My old lover.
