I’m crushed
By this silence
The smiles of the couples I see holding hands
The ads on tv
The songs on the radio
Your picture in my bedroom
Your memory in my mind
The knowledge that I will never see you again

very touching, I have that picture on my dresser, he is deceased now 14 years

18 years here, I remarried, raised our girls and now in the process of getting divorced. I find I don't miss the marriage, I miss "the one" who has been gone for so long.

I can relate!!!! I remarried very briefly the next year, it was a mistake, got divorced. Have dated a lot of men since then, but it never works out. People say I have never let him go. Maybe they are right. I don't know.

PG this is very touching and sad. It seems we all have some one we miss in which so many things we see and hear remind us of them. Memories and thoughts of what might have been will go on forever and in some cases haunt us forever.

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks, Ron I can't figure out why sometimes we feel like things will be all right, and then out of the blue everything just seems to suck.

It's that little thing inside of us called the heart. Many of us are capable of giving our complete heart to someone and when it's crushed, for what ever reason, the heart can't seem to forget.

I don't think we should have to forget those we had a close or personal relationship with. Relationships, good and bad are what define us. It wouldn't be fair to the other person to forget them completly. They were a part of our lives. Hopefully we learn from the experience.

I can relate. Beautiful poem and very heartfelt. I was just thinking this morning driving home that I have an okayness with it, today. To me that in itself is strange but peaceful.

Morning Rainbow - I have many days of peacefulness after all these years, just every now and then I can still feel the pain in my heart

This May 3rd will make four years. The picture is right here on my computer desk. Its right above the printer to my left. I can see my happy face and hers with my arm around her. I can remember when it hurt to look at it. Sometimes she seems like a stranger until I reflect long enough. Now it gives me a peaceful feeling. Sometimes I talk to her. Her ghost hasn't troubled me in quite a long time. Those are good things to me. I can remember when first the ghost's felt like a hot touch when she touched my shoulder then like a peaceful calming effect later. It is not quite like talking to myself or at least I hope so. Sometimes I will write poetry to her.

Oh, sorry, July. Good morning to you.
