"The Garden of Love" by William Blake

My initial impression of this poem, because of the title, was that it would a positive outlook on one's world of love, but instead it was more like a good dream gone bad, maybe even a nightmare. What has driven the speaker to feel this way? I can only think of some sort of heartbreak, and I say this because I immediately thought of my last relationship after reading this piece. I felt apart of the speaker's dream or account of the garden of love. "And I saw it was filled with graves, And tomb-stones where flowers should be: And Priests in black gowns were walking their rounds, And binding with briars my joys & desires." That was the last stanza of the poem and it put the icing on the cake for me. That lyric penetrated me because it was so poignant; it was filled with so much pain, emotion, and a desire for things to be good again. The speaker wants it to be his or her time again, just as I did when my relationship ended.
