The Aparition

This poem is kind of scary. The speaker is threatening his lover that he is with. He is says that when he is "dead", out of her life, he will come back and find her to haunt her. He is reflecting on the people who say they are going to die when they end a relationship. This is creepy sort of romantic. He tells her that she is with her future lover he will come and find them in bed together. He also says that she shouldn't try to wake her future lover because he will simply role over and pretend like he is asleep. Ultimately, he is saying that her future lover will never be able to satisfy her like he can. He's saying that he is a better man that her future lover will be. This poem is hard to understand because it is about a threat about something that could happen.
