    Picking up the pieces

     I have been a widower for gone 3 years now.
    My heart was broken and shattered to myriad pieces.
    She had been my mate at first sight,
    I knew then it had to be right.

    We laughed and sang and played for just 3 years.
    On the 24th day of March 2006 it all ended.
    I had wept bitterly for many nights filled with tears
    My heart it has been mended.       

    My weeping ceases it has taken years of picking up pieces.

    My heart is with you Troub. I know the pain of losing the one you love. My late fiance passed Dec. 23, 06. Not enough time... to say I love you... to say good-bye... Tears flowed so easily... Anger filled me, choking me, taking away my will to live. I all but died that year. Still, I try to pick up the pieces, only to get them smacked right back out of my hand.. Lovely poem, this is; and a wonderful tribute to your love. Hugs.. SG

    the pain and passion of your loss is greatly felt through this piece. Sometimes the pieces are difficult to collect and putting it into words I feel is like the glue pulling it all together. Well done.

    Us angels have to stick together don't you think

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
