This is very nicely done with an interesting point and counter-point of love and death, or the death of a love, death being either literal or figurative, depending on the reader's perspective. I see more a love that was allowed to wither from lack of sustenance. But that may be my own perspective. Regardless, it is well done and pierces both the heart and mind.
Sometimes it feels like they left us, and sometimes it feels like we went on without them. As long as we carry them with us in our memories, yes? Fortunately, I've never lost a "loved one" in death (as in significant other).... I've lost a grandparent, friend, etc... but not a "true love". It seems they've broken up with me and moved on, but not died. I guess that's a good thing, as I can't say "I know how you feel". I'm sure it will come...and until it does, I can always look back at this and think about it. You give us a very emotional work and stir our feelings down deep inside. As always, you write very well.
Great poem. I love the was you have worded it, as RIchard said, it is very expressive. THe reader can really feel the tug of your words in this one.

A touching theme. It seems to suggest that love is stronger than death because you never know how much you love someone till you loose them.
Have been down that road myself and yes, its a painful one.

No words will give comfort, this pain you must bear alone. The greater the love, the stronger the pain of loss. I weep for your loss and pray for peace of mind for my friend. You were and are loved. God bless you my friend, Anthony
*catches her breath* I do have to say that was one of the best poems I have ever read. IT brings the heart wrenching power of sorrow with your vividly painted words, the wounds have been cut so deep I am not sure if I can heal them again. After reading your poem it reminded me so much of a lost friend of mine. *smiles* Please do not worry my friend, your work was amazing. It made me realize just how much pain and sorrow I still bare for this particular person. Well done.
Welcome !
