Brad ...
This poem is filled with so much emotional pain it breaks my heart ...
A real (tugger ) at the heart strings it is ..
In this part (so let the torture seas)
I think you might have meant.
......So let the torture cease ...
In the second stanza I'd remove the
( because ) to make it flow nicer ...
That is just my opinion sweets ...
But overall it is a beautiful heartfelt poem ...
Thanks for including me in your favorites .... It is indeed an honor ...
