This poem is the result of the breakup of my marriage. Overcoming the loss of a love is a painful process, but one we can learn from. This piece describes but a fraction of the feelings experienced at this loss.
is to know such pain, it's jagged edges tearing into my soul. As a stake from the garden tears into the warm, dark earth.
To Watch You Leaving . . .
knowing all the while that never again will I fit myself, warm with sleep, against your solid back.
Nor hear your steady breathing. Or feel the beating of your heart.
To Watch You Leaving . . .
aware in every moment of every day that my dreams, my future; once tied with silken ribbons to yours, will never come to be.
And the mornings once so silent and hopeful, us gazing at the mountains and so gently awaiting forever - are now but small pieces of my past.
To Watch You Leaving . . .
your heart a tight fist of anger and your dry eyes betraying nothing of you. I cry for both of us, my love, because you will not.
To Watch You Leaving . . .
is to know that I've lost my place on this earth. My station. My heart's home. That I will wander, forever a nomad. Alone and afraid. And in my troubled dreams watch you leave, again and again.

This poem touched my heart as it is so reminiscent of my own loss. He was and still is the love of my life. Three years later, I still cry.

wow i really feel that right now because of a high school love you must move on but sometimes you cant stop forgetting the memories of him holding you. that helped me so much today. i sometimes feel like moving on but right now i just want to be alone. i have written so many poems like that, but yours was the best. i guess what i am trying to say is thank you for not leaving me hanging alone. broken hearts heal together.

I like this poem because it reminds me when one of my boyfriends left me and i was just standing there waiting for him to come back but he never did and reading that poem reminded me of that pain . But i think that is good just because it is good sometimes to be reminded of what you dont want anymore
