No pain as deep as the pain of knowing love has died and you are left alone and bereft.

I like your rhyming poems, Peter. The sadness oozes out of this one, but luckily you added it is not your present state of mind!:)

Good stuff, Peter:)

5/5 Ingrid

Oh I just loved this, I like how you started it; "He's driving to work, it's pouring with rain" 5/5 well done

mandy :)

Sometimes just driving can give us too much time to think,
That journey no matter how small when your mind switches off and you go inside your own minefeld of a mind.
I think you capture this very well.
Rhyming as expected from you is spot on.
Nice write Mr Edwards.

This is an amazing piece... You are awesome with the rhymes! And the story behind is sad and heartbreaking. Just loved it overall!
Keep writing more:)

WOW, WOW, WOW, this is not just a poem, this is a gift to all the readers. I love this poem so much, it is unbelievably outstanding. I loved every line, my heart beated to every word and I couldn't get enough of the verses. WONDERFUL POEM, I CAN'T GET OVER HOW TALNTED YOU ARE!!

Nicely Done Peter

Loved it!!

My fav line was the one that said " His spirit now broken, trust all now but died. Bitterness growing where love did reside." That was one of those lines that makes a poem something memorable!

Interesting !

Very heartouching write Peter.... Loved the opening lines (they captured me straight away...)

So much emotion packed into this Gem.... that you have so well written.

Well Done my friend!

~ Also have to say that I loved the rhyme and rhythm throughout! :)
