Comments : Reconciliation

    Alex, when first reading this I get your heartbreak coming through. The belief that goes hand in hand with unresolved grief that makes you feel like it's never going to go away. That numb feeling that comes after the shock. Each memory revisited like a knife renewing the wound.

    Then in the last stanza the musing of whether or not there is truth in the thought you may one day meet your loved one again. For me the best part of this piece was there right at the end. The message of hope and that perfect crystal truth that whilst you hold the memory of your loved one and the things you have shared....then they never truly die.
    That single thought was filled with wisdom and hope and was what made gave force and resolution to the whole poem for me. Best wishes Milly x
