The hurt here is palpable and leaves the reader wondering what the cause of the sustained anguish might be; the death of a spouse perhaps? We do ascertain that the relationship was sustained for " so many years" so naturally we deduce that the depth of feeling was mutual. But we are left with the sense that the object of pain and desire might be "back around" leading us to think of a broken relationship or a ghost perhaps. This was an intriguing write. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review my little poem... To be honest I have no idea where this poem came from... I got up one morning and felt a pressure to write it... Perhaps it is about my past loves and losses?? All within me...Sadly, I relate to my poem although now and for the past 40 years I have been in a relationship with no goodbyes... But before then I had so many almost long term loves..
Thank you for saying that this was an intriguing write... really means a lot to me. And, inspires me!

The emotions can be felt in every line of this poem. Anyone who has ever lost love - for whatever reason - should be able to relate to this poem, Lisa. Expressed poetically, and with feeling!

Hello Lisa,
I thought I had reviewed this, but apparently not.
Upon re-reading it, I am struck again by how beautifully written it is! The images flow gently and sadly from your words, phrasing and meter, which all reinforce the story of love lost. A wonderful, emotional poem!

I too sometimes read a poem and realise awhile later that I neglected to leave a review... I suppose the old saying "Haste makes Waste" applies here.. I am always so ~ so busy...
I am delighted to read that you liked my poem... I have no idea where this one came from...but, when I got up one morning I just wrote it ll down... The feelings must have been deep within me...

"watching waves rush to past's deserted shores" is a brilliant metaphor. Congratulations.
