A Love Ended, I'm Not Broken-Hearted (poem) by Sherry L Gibson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on August 13, 2008

After reading your poem it is quite possible my 25 year marriage was experiencing what your break up did. What I have learned since then is that love can't truly exist without committment. A very profound and interesting piece of poetry, well writen.

Understandable and well written, enjoyed the read although sad.
For the most part it did not overtake with sadness instead relief.
These breakup are sometimes a part of life and sometimes they are also warranted!

Sincerely,
~Gwendolyn

Boy, this sounds like me when we separated and then divorced so many years ago. The nothingness was bigger than all outdoors, and so was the peace. Glad a found a husband who fits the bill about what love is and enriches my life.

God bless you. Kathy

Sherry, I enjoyed your poetry. You inspired me to write:

Nothing is good
When everything is bad
Anything will be better
Than some things I've had.

Like that last line Sis Sherry. A friend of mine, widowed and in her early 50s, who actually happened to be named who just got jilted by a three year romance. Let's say he would have been a good candidate for surveillance on that show called "Cheaters."

Now her only concern is being checked for a disease that we pray to God she doesn't have. Wouldn't it be nice if life were as calm as the scene in your photograph above?
blessin's, lovely poem, lovely peace to you,

Dear Sherry,

I thought it wrong to feel the way you so articulately penned this, but on reading it a couple of times, I realise that I too would feel happier, "to rather live my life alone
Than to exist once love is gone." What good is it merely existing ?A superb write Sherry, it really hits home.

Stunning picture.

warm hugs

This sounds like what my pastor friend said when her husband of forty one years left her for a new honey.
