Old Love and New by Sara Teasdale + request

Jul 23, 2013 19:20

Hello, I'm looking for poems about exclusion - anything that generally involves being excluded.  If you could also include ones wherein the poet discusses his/her feelings about being excluded (for whatever reason).  I can't find any in the request pages.  I couldn't find any proper poems via Google either. Thank you in advance. A Teasdale for your time. :)

Old Love and New

In my heart the old love  
  Struggled with the new,  
It was ghostly waking  
  All night through.

Dear things, kind things  
  That my old love said,  
Ranged themselves reproachfully  
  Round my bed.

But I could not heed them,  
  For I seemed to see  
Dark eyes of my new love  
  Fixed on me.

Old love, old love,  
  How can I be true?  
Shall I be faithless to myself  
  Or to you?
- Sara Teasdale
