Sometimes the one we love changes and isn't as loving as before. I wonder why that happens sometimes. Very well written Fee

Sometimes to love is harder then to not have loved at all. Thanks for sharing, DL Mullan

I think it's less tough to deal with the death of a loved one, than helplessly watching the once shared love to detiriorate.
You spun a lonely feel into this work.
Love,

This poem has such a lonely feel to it. This is that forever moment when one must be brave enough to end things. A very emotive piece, Fee. Hugs,

closure to a relationship leaves all of us wondering what to do next
To me Love never dies, but passion can fade if intimacies are not coninually nurtured...I still love people I don't like :)
Your words evoke a need for joy & an empowering message to Live Life & Not Exist within it's background yearning to have when all we need to do is reach out & have it. Time To Apply Mouth to Mouth Resurrections!!!
Much Love & Inspirations To You Always

So very emotive, Fee. The intensity of emotions is vivid and easily felt through your words. What was and is no more...yet they remain together, so very sad. Hugs, Lizzie

I truly FEEL this, Felix. This reaches right to the very bottom of the soul and resounds. This plumbs the darkest depths of that night of the soul which mourns the lack of emotional solace, nurture and reciprocity. Your honest words make glib the saying "better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". This loss is grievous and, as alway, so well penned. It seems your heart has experienced the whole gamut of human joy and pain at times... and you write it so starkly. Bless you, Pops. Your soul is precious. Kate xx

This is beautiful, though meloncholic, Fee. Your line: "And the years count dwon the sorrowed time as the chimes of doom ring out blow by blow" is the perfect picture of an empty marriage. Really well written.

Great poem Fee, Accepting and realizing when love is not there anymore is a blesseing, better to move on than stay deceived.

Rereading this doesnt remove its intensity, power, honesty, sadness or the fact that you feel this everyday and live with it. Really sad but also very effective and well-written for the reader.

So very sad when this happens, and it happened to me in my first marriage.

Fee, this is powerful and deep...the opposite of love is hate...and I sometimes think being empty of emotion is worse...because it means there's nothing left.

Any lost love is sad in a way... but when it no longer hurts means you have stepped through another door..so maybe it's time that it no longer be sad... The poem is nicely written and one of your best to date... Myrna

Fee, sometimes I think that we are the last of the races that feel sorrow when love's gone. The today crowd goes like bees from flower to flower, no sharing...no responsibility, emotions are just an hinder to one-night-stands. Romeo and Juliet are just for Nana back home.
Your delicate balance between the sorrow of have something taken away and the necessity to scream it from the roof tops gives this poem humanity.

Love can be a painful thing when each goes their separate ways and the abyss between them is uncrossable.
