This is so heartbreaking. I can relate to so many of these feelings.

No one to run to
now standing solitary
whispering unanswered thoughts
to the sky........ the ground where you lay

This pain you write about stays with you. It never ends. Just gets easier to hide from it. A pain of losing someone we love so much becomes part of who we are. They live on through our memories and stories.
I love you

Oh rachel my rachel *runs and hug you*
I don't really know what to say..but this brought tears to my eyes
I guess I all go trhough losing a loved one ,and at days it just feels like there is a hole inside of us.
Hang in there hunny,love heals all pains.

Rachel...this is so heartbreaking...wish it wasn't so. Keep him in your heart and smile...I'm sure he's smiling too...somewhere... to know you love him so much!

Nothing else I can add to the other comments. It is heartbreaking and brought tears to my eyes.

Well there are so many lines in this poem that I can relate to. Sometimes we just say certain things out of uncontrollable anger and often later we regret venting out those unintended words. It is pretty sad how poem ends but nonetheless, it was delightful read.

Thank you for the kind words. I will always have a hole in my heart that no amount of love or joy could ever fill. It is the place my Bryant left behind and the pain doesn't get any easier.....you are right Aunt Cindy, only easier to hide from it. So hard for the days to pass without something reminding me of him.....things he said.......a touch on my cheek or the love he always had in his eyes when he looked at me. Love unspoken.......He would have never had to say the words, I knew. And now he is gone. Nothing can ever change that fact or make it an easier burdon to bear. I do pray that they will find the person who did this so they can be brought to justice.

Rachel this is a truly heartbreaking piece. i read this with tears in my eyes. Your pain is impossible to comprehend I know! just hang in there!

Rachel this is such a heart touching write.

My heart weeps for you my friend. I wish there was a way to take away your pain.

My beloved.......
how I long for the stories of heaven to be true
so one day I may hold your hand again
^^^
This part brough tears to my eyes because I too hope heaven is true and that when that day comes you will again hold the one you love.

Love you my dear friend ... ~holding your hand until that day comes~

Congrats on your win Rachel....very deserving :)
I love you
Aunt Cindy

What sorrowful truth you have written here, I am so sorry for your loss of the one you dearly love and the father of two beautiful children. He is at peace now and may God comfort your soul in any grieving you go through. I could not even imagine this.

This piece touched my soul and was a deserving dedication to a man you would probably give your life too, I am sure it is not even close to getting easier, but I will pray, that is what we can do.

Anyway, a beautiful woven poem from your heart, well worthy of the win.

God bless you dear.

This has left me so sad..and I can only imagine the pain you must be going through..I too hope that whoever did this to your husband will pay..take care and I pray that God give you the strength to go on....

And years later, it has not gotten any easier.Though I have moved on and have a new life, new love.......Noone can replace my soulmate. I still cry for him......I pray that heaven exists so I can look into his eyes once again.......MY LOVE I MISS YOU!!!!!
