Thank you dmt for your kind review. You are so right. I thought I had worked out all those emotions but apparently not.
Comment from Sararb
So sad your words are. This had to be devastating, for a love you once had. But you must go on with your life with someone new and try and forget about the pain of the past...Good Luck in the contest ! Sararb

Comment from 9999pool
Many of us have come to believe that platonic relationships are the simplest and purest form of a bonding relationship that does not extend into romance but bonded by years of togetherness and friendship - maybe in a brother-sister relationship. The remorse and regret are usually there if we have not be that kind or understanding towards them but that is life - never ideal and never perfect. Good write and good to read your writings again. Cheers, Ritchie.

Thank you Ritchie for your review of my poem. I thought I had worked out all my emotions regarding my ex-husband but obviously there was some things that still needed work. I am much better.

Yes, to be able to be good caring friends with your ex-husband takes a lot of courage and common sense. To be there for each other as friends can be a very meaningful and bonding relationship. Cheers, Ritchie.
Comment from Saucey
Now this is a sad but well written piece. I especially love the artwork, so fitting. At least you have faith to move on as you stated, "I learned to love again
To him how can I explain? The deep sorrow I feel Yet, I know my heart will heal" Thanks for sharing.

Comment from wiljacro
HI! justjo66. It is strange, but for me,very true, that memories of things that happened in the distant past, particularly the painful ones, appear to return much, much, stronger than when they actually occured. Maybe it is caused by sentiment or conscience, of that I'm not sure, but when such a memory re-surfaces it usually takes a long time to recede,when it does it seems to have lost most of it's ability to cause regret for whatever it was that caused the pain in the first instance. Sorry if this isn't making sense. Your poem set off a seriese of thoughts! wiljacro.

Thank you wiljacro for your kind review. Yes, you are so right. I thought I had worked out all my emotions regarding my ex but it seems there were a few that were not healed. But it gets better. I have a wonderful husband of 39 years whom I love dearly and who loves me.

Comment from Treischel
A very touching poem of love and regret, of forgiveness and sorrow. Such emotions give a tearful memory and melancholy mood. It good you expressed it here. We know. We now know! Nicely done!

thanks for sharing this life story about your husband that you were married to for such a long time and then you still cared for him even after the divorce and what a shock it must have been to your family. Great contest entry I wish you the best of luck

Comment from Ekim777
An interesting read. We all harbor guilt, shame and fear within us, something which comes to the surface of our consciousness when external realities demand. Still we must heroically do battle with these negative emotions. A period of mourning is necessary and then we plunge back into reality with a new sense of vulnerability. Maybe you need to explain your mixed feelings to your new partner. He will prove to be more understanding than you might have hoped for. The answer to your dilemma lies within your poem. There is no need to blame yourself. -Ekim777

very sad poem, I almost could hear you cry as I read your lines. I believe your feelings are not that hard to understand, after all you had family with him. Beautifuly written poem full of feelings.
wish you lots of strength.

Thank you Tina for your kind review. I am glad you understood my emotions in this poem. Almost too personal but yet I needed to get them out of behind the wall.
