from this womans perspective when you love it is everything, it speaks bitterness to me of love unrequited with the same depth and passion. speaks of physical and emotional act of love and how who you love can never give you what you need/want

D.Parker at this time was Divorced. She had extra martial affairs herself. So I wonder if this poem was about her or her husband. If you know her work as I am sure a lot of you do. She always looked at love a an disconcerning issue. So maybe this is just an internal interpertation of love. No matter what she did she could not make the man in her life happy. Because deep down she could not make herself happy.

i love this poem!i always find that women are always quick to fall in love and men are always quick to fall into lust. I think dorothy patker does an excellent job portraying this concept in this poem.
