"You Fit into Me"

“You Fit Into Me” by Margaret Atwood is an amusing poem which attracted my attention and encouraged me to read it deeply irrespective of its shortness. By using very few words, Atwood was smart in shifting the readers expectations from positive image to a painful one. While reading "you fit into me / like a hook into an eye" (lines 1-2) we see a picture of two happy people. In the next line she tells us that their relation was ended.. the hook is a fishhook and the eye that it fits is into an open eyeball...

Yes, I got disappointed to know that the poem “You Fit Into Me” reflects a painful and sad ending between two lovers. But, for my LOVE I will always say “You Fit Into Me”.
