My heart goes out to you! Your post is written with honesty, soul-searching sadness and the ability to recognize one's self whether the loss is from a breakup or a death of a loved one. Neither are easy to manage. My loss was from the death of a partner and it is still a challenge to fill all of those holes in heart with good memories. Good work. ann

Dearest Ann,
Thank you for such a touching and heartfelt review. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your loved one as well, as you wrote, it doesn't matter if the loss is from death or from break-up the grief we endure is not easy. In my life I have felt both, death of a loved one is of course the most lasting. You never really get over the loss of a loved one who dies, the pain just seems to be a little less raw as time goes by.
Xoxo,
Ramona
Comment from BenThrone
Those nagging thoughts can indeed be tormenting. One always wonders what could or should have been differently, if anything might have made a difference...this is a poem I am sure many can relate to and it is very raw emotionally. I'm wondering if it would possible to develop some concrete images that help observe the adage, "show, don't tell", that convey these sentiments while leaving the reader with a striking scene or juxtaposition.

Comment from Boogienights
I'm sorry you lost your love. It seems like the hurt will never end, but i promise you, you'll find love again. This is a beautifully written, but sad poem.

Comment from karenina
I feel your grief. I hope writing this helps you purge some of the pain. No matter how good it seemed, promises were broken and no closure occurred.
Perhaps he thinks of you. I certainly think seven years of pining for him is more than he deserves!

Thank you Karenina! I fear I failed in communicating clearly. I haven?t been pining for seven years. We just broke up last year after seven years together.

I see this is truth to you and it sure rings crystal.Yet, I see understanding here so much as pain still hanging onto a sort of apparition of
although, unspecified dreams, also a thin hope I know. Tremendously sad.

Comment from lauralumummu
Love is torment but the joy of the beginning was worth it. Well-written reminds me of an Adele song. I am sorry this happened most of us have been through it and can sympathize. All the best, Laura

Comment from Rachelle Allen
You have gotten the depth of your sadness and loss across extremely well. Let's call that "making lemonade from your lemons." Here's some advice I received from my sister once when I was suffering in a way similar to you:
"Men are like buses," she said. "If something should happen with one, you need wait there just a few minutes, and another one will be right along to take its place!"
My dad's take on it was this: "If he really were The One, then the relationship would have worked out. But it was still good, right? So now just imagine how good the REAL one is going to be."
My favorite words of wisdom on the subject are from this meme: "Let go or be dragged." You don't want that, I bet. That would be very unhealthy.
Seven years is a long time to mourn the loss of a relationship, Sweet Mystery Writer. Keep writing that pain out of yourself, and before you know it, you will have healed. This poem feels like the healthy part of you stepping up and heading toward a better outlook. Sending you much, much love.

My Dearest Rachelle,
Thank you so much for the kind words and wise advice, my mom had a saying; men are like fishes, there are more tan one in the sea. I try to remember that too. I appreciate the excellent review as well.
Blessings,
Ramona

It's my pleasure. It takes a village, right? If we all look out for each other, no one gets left behind.
Comment from Yusita
The emotions and feelings are effectively conveyed through this touching piece, and these feelings many of us can relate to in one way or another. I particularly liked the last line: "So much on my mind, so much to say. I wish thoughts of you would just go away."
If it is meant to be, I hope you find your way back to each other... and if not, then I hope you find the one who makes you completely happy, whole, and complete. Sending blessings your way.
