The knock on my door.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

The knock on my door.

I know there won't be a knock upon my door. You're in love; I can't see you anymore. But I won't go down with the ship; I won't hurt myself or surrender. I'm still in love and always will be. She may have gold hair and rosey cheeks. But I won't let you go. There is a dove above my head, and while I remain in love, she can't give you everything you need in the same way that I can. You will see, and I will sit on your steps. I'm still in love, and I won't surrender. Maybe I can't compete, but I will never retreat. I'm in love, and I'm not complete.

    Wow! This poem is filled with passion and determination. Your words convey a sense of unwavering love and dedication that is truly inspiring. I love the imagery of the dove hovering above your head and the idea of not giving up on love, no matter the circumstances.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to consider playing with the structure of the poem a bit more. Maybe experiment with different line breaks or stanzas to enhance the flow of the piece and create even more impact.

    Overall, this poem is a powerful expression of love and resilience. Keep writing and sharing your beautiful words with the world!
