“Oh, because you never tried
  To bow my will or break my pride,
  And nothing of the cave-man made
  You want to keep me half afraid,
  Nor ever with a conquering air
  You thought to draw me unaware—
  Take me, for I love you more
  Than I ever loved before.”
― Sara Teasdale, Love Songs

“My eyes ache with the weight of unshed tears. You are my home, do you not understand?”
― Amy Lowell, The Complete Poetical Works of Amy Lowell

“I wish you a kinder sea.”
― Emily Dickinson

“Aubade"

As I would free the white almond from the green husk
So I would strip your trappings off,
Beloved.
And fingering the smooth and polished kernel
I should see that in my hands glittered a gem beyond counting.
Decade

When you came, you were like red wine and honey,
And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.
Now you are like morning bread,
Smooth and pleasant.
I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,
But I am completely nourished.”
― Amy Lowell, The Complete Poetical Works of Amy Lowell
