"You'll Cry For Me Someday" - By Anonymous

     "You'll Cry For Me Someday"

       By: Anonymous

       Someday you'll cry for me, like I cried for you,

Someday you'll miss me, like I missed you,
Someday you'll need me, like I needed you,
Someday you'll love me, but I won't love you.

       Analysis:

       This is a very simple poem, that speaks about a persons feelings towards another person, perhaps a person who used to be a friend, or a lover who got away. It seems obvious that the writer has spent a long time in sadness over the conflict between them and the subject of the poem, what is important is the last line: "Someday you'll love me, but I won't love you." which implies the writer of the poem has gotten over this conflict, and has moved on with his/her life. 

       The poem has great effect to relay it's message to the reader mostly because of the scheme of the stanza, where each line begins with "Someday you'll". This consistency creates a natural rhythm for whoever the speaker may be. 

       I believe this poem in it's simplicity can evoke some very complex emotions in a reader, speaker or audience of a speaker. If it were perhaps a much longer poem, going into detail about the ins and outs of the feelings felt by the author, it might not have the same effect.
