When You And I Embrace Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

When You And I Embrace

Rating: 5.0


You have touched me with yr love
That I must weep
The gentleness of yr hair catches the tear I cry
When you and I embrace
You don't like them, so you kiss them away
Killing the evil of loneliness
I don't want to be sad because I have yr love
But losing it is what scares me
There's no one can compare to you
Causing me to be so contented
I won't fall in love with anyone else
I'll live in solitude
As the empty bed burns

LeeAnn, your whole poem so finely captures the essence of love lost. And your last line, only five words long, is a whole book on the essence of loneliness suffered as a result of love lost. I can't emphasize enough the genius of that one line!

2) Your last line also brought to mind the TV film, The Burning Bed. According to TV critic Matt Seitz, the film is the 7th greatest American TV-movie ever made...and of Farrah Fawcett's performance...'one of the finest in the history of TV-movies'. It's very realistically based on a true story!

Love really does hurt, when it's no longer there, as conveyed in the stirring lines of this captivating poem. Beautifully written, LeeAnn.
