Love Song

T. S. Elliot wrote "the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock". It is a poem about a man who is looking back at his life and realizing that he has never experienced true love. He had opportunities for true love but he let other things get in the way and matter more to him and now he has nothing to show for it. It is a sad poem because he is looking back and realizing all the things he missed out on.
