Alex, I'm glad I came across your poem. It is such a sad write, and yes, a very true one also. Your words used were exactly the right ones to use, and made the poem just so complete and worth reading. You have a talent there Alex, and I hope to see some more work from your pen!

Yup. I wouldn't know yet though.
But a relationship is about two and it's about the two wanting to be together. So it won't matter the obstacles that both experience. Sure there will be ups and downs, happiness and sadness, anger and frustration, etc but if both want to be together, They both will manage.

However, coming from the view point of a woman, the guy must have something that makes the girl want to be with him. So I am assuming that's what the stories' main point is about. Usually, it used to be that the guy must make the girl feel secure; hence, the guy going through trials upon trials to save her... etc.

Ultimately, everyone has their own love story. But I like reading your view point about those stories.

Ah...the complications and many trials of love. Why must it be so complicated?
There is nothing good about having a broken heart...except maybe the lessons learned. But it is painful and can leave many scars that never truly go away.
Even though it's sad...I like the way you intertwined story book love with reality. It really puts into perspective what we consider love as children and what we end up experiencing as we get older.
Very creative.
Shattered hearts may be painful and messy...but the amazing thing is they always find a way to put themselves back together...allowing us to love again someday :)
