TONIGHT I CAN WRITE

This poem breaks my heart. The writer brings so much emotion into it and I feel like he is sitting right in front of me expressing his feelings to me. In the very first sentence the writer states “Tonight I can write the saddest lines.”(p321) Here he is informing me that he could not previously do this. I later learn that he is so sorrowful because a previous relationship has come to an end.  He keeps repeating the line “tonight I can write the saddest lines.” I feel like the writer keeps stating this because he is struggling to forget about his lost love.  Through this poem he still struggles to forget her and he still wants to be with her. He tries to find her but he notes “She is not with me.”  This poem in general has become a painful task of forgetting. In the end the speaker is determined to erase her from his mind and that this poem will be “the last verses that I writer for her.” I feel like he conquered his broken heart by the end of the poem.
