Poem based on how difficult it can be sometimes, when two hearts are away from each other. |
My oh my My wandering eye As if my love Could not satisfy He’s gone for a long while I cope with a forced smile But my oh my My wandering eye I am too easily flattered By the kind-hearted callers My thoughts for a certain one Are scattered He thinks me a doll, but does not know at all That my heart is with another My love, who is away til the fall It’s hard to bring up such an issue Near impossible to tell him with sincerity That I belong to my love, and only my love I cannot break my fidelity When he looks to me I know He is cherishing the moment so entirely He’s never been inappropriate Has not tried to win my affections If my love were here I don’t rightly fear My sentiment would be cast in my love’s direction But with absence the heart grows fonder With absence the heart grows lonely With absence, one’s eyes might wander It gets harder to say “my one and only” I would never go behind the back Of someone who I call my love Patience is a virtue I often lack This challenge I hope to rise above In a few months time, I will know If staying or leaving is the path to forego. |
