Come on Sweetheart

Come on Sweetheart - meaning Summary

Love Before It's Too Late

The poem urges reconciliation and present tenderness before loss makes affection impossible. The speaker appeals directly to a beloved to drop bitterness, reject spite, and exchange kindness now rather than mourn later. Imagery of mirrors, tombstones, and a silent heart emphasizes urgency and the futility of posthumous worship. The tone mixes insistence and vulnerability as the speaker asks for genuine connection in life rather than regret after separation or death.

come on sweetheart let’s adore one another before there is no more of you and me a mirror tells the truth look at your grim face brighten up and cast away your bitter smile a generous friend gives life for a friend let’s rise above this animalistic behaviour and be kind to one another spite darkens friendships why not cast away malice from our heart once you think of me dead and gone you will make up with me you will miss me you may even adore me why be a worshiper of the dead think of me as a goner come and make up now since you will come and throw kisses at my tombstone later why not give them to me now this is me that same person i may talk too much but my heart is silence what else can i do i am condemned to live this life
