Analysis of I Will Tell You, Love



Yes, my Love, I am your splendid thing
On my finger I still wear that blessed ring
No more lovemaking, I am now celibate
Old and gray now, fragile and delicate

I'm your strength; courage, don't be afraid
If you need me, call me, I'll rush to your aid
You always knew I was the clown in the crowd
It was your love for me that made me so proud

No, my Love, you're not obligated in any way
You broke my heart once, what else can I say?
We were so much in love, you are my best friend
And I will always love you until the very end

Linda D. Blakely

I was born in West Virginia and raised in Kentucky. I've been writing poetry since high school and have been in many poetry circles on the internet. I am known in these circles as the "legendarylinda". I have won contests, received medals and many other merits for my poetry. I would love to travel and see the world. My hero is Jesus Christ. I wish to dedicate this book to my parents and all my friends everywhere in the world. ~Peace Legendary Linda more…
