My Love Has Changed

My Love Has Changed - meaning Summary

Unrequited Love's Futility

The poem addresses a person whose emotional state has shifted, perhaps due to unrequited love or a significant disappointment. The speaker observes that this person pours their heart out but lacks a true emotional foundation or a receptive recipient for their affection. The one they desired has passed them by, leaving their efforts unfulfilled. The poem concludes by likening this person's futile endeavors to a mill that moves without achieving flight, suggesting their passionate expressions are ultimately grounded and ineffective.

My love has changed. I know you feel upset about the situation: The crescent's sweeper couldn't spill the pools of lyrical creation. Upset, but taking in good part the star that fell upon your brows, you spilt you heart about the house but there's no house in your heart. The one you waited for to greet has passed your shelter like a cynic. My friend, whomever did you gild the key for with your singing lyric? You'll never versify the sun and never see the Heaven's bound. Just like a mill that flaps its fan but cannot tear off the ground.
