Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem when I was 17 years old just after my boyfriend of 2 years dumped me for no apparent reason, and decided that he was going to make my life hell until I decided that I didn't want anything to do with him (which didn't happen). 

When

When your heart stops
Because there is no reason to beat.
When you just want to drop
Dead at his cruel feet.
When your dreams were erased
For no reason at all.
When on the shelf you were placed
To be scorned by all.
When a day ends with a tear
Because that's all you can do.
When all begins with the fear
That he'll try to hurt you.
When your heart cries out
That you need him there.
When you don't want him to doubt
That you will always care.
When again and again you wonder why
You still love him the same.
When he refused to try
To let you go un-maimed.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
