Thank you again for another review. I have only been on FS since the end of May, so our paths haven't crossed much. I look forward to jumping over and taking a peek at your writing too. Hope the hiatus brought you back strong and full of wonderful words.

How hard it must have been for you while wed! Then hearing that he's gay? Did you ever wonder if it were you that drove him to change? (just wondering, I sincerely hope the answer is NO). I understand the fear of the light. I too cover myself for sex. How sad of us huh...

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my words. It was only hard sexually. We did everything together and were the best of friends. No one is capable of making anyone anything sexually. They are what they are, gay or straight. So no, I never thought it was my fault afterwards. Just the 29 years I was married and unknowing. I'm sorry that you are a hidden, undresser too. It is a power and freedom we will never know.

What a sad story, of love not shared. Such a loss for both, all because he could not face who he was. He punished both of them, and now it is too late. What a loss for both. Thank you for sharing, an excellent entry for the contest.

What a powerful poem! Your response to his coldness is truly understandable. What a terrible fate, to be involved with someone that betrayed you all of those years.
Well written and full of heartfelt emotion, so much as it breaks ones heart.

Thank you so much for the read and review. I am glad that it evoked such a visceral response, but saddened too. One broken heart was enough. I almost didn't put it out there, took my hand off the "release" button. But I'm glad now that I did. It was enough years ago that we are once again best friends, but from time to time I suddenly realize that there is a piece I haven't fully exorcised. This was written to do just that.

Writing is cathartic in nature and you truly have embraced this concept of moving on and being the best person that you can be.
Your mehtod of doing such is solid and I'm sure, rewarding as well.
Good on you.
I'm also glad to see that you can forgive.
That makes your worry, his worry now!

Wow, this told an entire story I feel as if I watched a movie with a husband and wife. The note you added is certainly true. Good Luck.

This is superb. I'm not sure that I want to say much more. There is nothing I can criticise. The story is so sad, and the phrasing and the rhyme are so pure and free flowing. I really will be reading this several times because I think I will find more it in each time I read, but on first impressions,I absolutely love it. Thank you and congratulations, mystery writer.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my words. It was very difficult to hit the release button for this, but I suppose it is not more personal than any of my other poetry about feelings, just more specific. I jumped over to get a look see on your home page. Welcome to FS and I hope you enjoy the ride.
