Rescue Me by Dave Rice

Heartstrings and Hemingway

The poem, "Rescue Me," explores the speaker's unrequited love and longing for a woman. The speaker describes feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, feeling inadequate in comparison to other suitors, and ultimately yearning for the woman's love and acceptance. They lament the pain of unrequited love and express a desire to be "rescued" from the depths of their sadness. The poem uses vivid imagery and metaphors, such as the "sea" and the "death of her valley," to convey the depth of the speaker's emotions.
