How sad... My sincerest condolence for your loss...

"Awakened, painful moans
Recognizing the voice
Where did the laughter go
Sometimes there is no choice"

That stanza certainly tugged my heart..."where did the laughter go?" - methinks that I was smacked at the face with that line...

It's a tear-jerking write. Thank you for sharing! Take care now. Love, Debbie

Nicely done sad poem...expressing all you inner thoughts so completely! The ending verse is so powerful:

Locked behind walls
Amongst life's facades
Destined for sadness
Until freed by God.

"Life's facades"....so true...and the eternal promise to be reunited with your love "freed by God"....very intense Cindy...well done! Love, Debbie

I do enjoy a good dark poem and you've written this one well.

...Besides, I love the allusion you used in the title!

Sad ,yet so beautifully done ,left a tear in my eye.

Today of all days Cindy.. this poem was so.. i'm lost for words..

Plans washed away"
