The man I loved with all my heart
broke the dreams we held so dear
walking out the door that day
without shedding a single tear

To walk away without shedding a tear...oh God that must have killed you, my dear girl.

It's a beautiful sad poem, Luanne. The rhyme and the choice of words are great. But the story is very sad. A heart once broken cannot be made whole, not like it used to be....

Much love,

Ingrid

Luanne
What a very sad and heart breaking poem. The agony cries from your words.

Waves crashed upon our lives
and swept your love away
broken were all the promises
you vowed to me each day

Promises made by two loves. Thought to last forever. How sad when the trust is broken.

Wasn't long before you realized
can't pour raindrops back into a cloud
gone were the days of love and trust
and the family you held so proud

This stanza really tugged the heart strings. NO you can never take back what you broke in the first place. There is no magic fix.

Time may mend this broken heart
but our love will never be the same
a man who once walked so proud
now holds his head in shame

This I think is the saddest of all the stanzas. Realizing that what you wanted all along was right under your nose. That you threw it away for what??

The heart has now finally spoken ...

Great ending Luanne...the heart does have the final say.
Excellent job!
Love Cindy
