Just one letter from you that's all I ask
I know our romance was way in the past
Strong promises you made before you left
A letter each week, you'd give me your best
They said you were among all the missing
I was told no more, it was a secret mission
If we had married like you wanted us too
A family I'd have, but just loneliness I brew
Everyone thinks I'm a foolish old lady
Possibly even a little bit kinda crazy
Truth be told life is stranger than fiction
I'm sticking with my one true conviction
Somewhere out there you might still be alive
With this thought every day is how I thrive From this little piece of land I'll never move
No better way my eternal love for you I prove

Good afternoon, thank you again for reading and commenting on my poem, Eileen.
I like this
It is a wonderful poem of love and the best kind of passion
is the poem a total work of imagination or is there something personal about it ?
your or a friend's sadness
this I guess is not really my business
Good morning, thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. It was all made up in my head, most of my pieces are like that, just made up. Best regards, Eileen
Very emotionally overwhelming
