Chemistry

I doubt I will ever love

so well again

or feel the depth of love

you showed for me.

I could live a billion years

and never repair

the hole your loss

has torn in my soul.

A gap through which whistles

a brittle, frozen gale,

leaving me so cold,

so truly bereft.

I search for reason

with these frozen hands

but only questions

beg to respond.

And only you will know

why you ended it

when we were

the purest chemistry?

[Lyn Anderson]

I went from the kitchen to a broken heart, and it hurt so much. Well done.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many thanks KLG

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you very much Dreamer

[Dreamer]

you're very welcome, John.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

I have not read you work for quite sometime John, so It felt rather refreshing finding this amongst my read requests, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I hope that all is well, kind regards.

[Rosalind Gale]

Just you, John. No need for hyperbole or some contrived imagery. I believe it is the reason so many, and myself, relate to you, A simplicity, an honesty in your work.
I hope you are well, friend.

Love seems to contradict the laws of the universe quite often. Nice write John. Haven't heard from you lately, I hope all is well.

[Jack...]

An adverse chemical reaction. John, the sorrow is painful to all of us, look to higher ground, those tears will be flooding the streets if they don't stop soon.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Not to feel pain may make us unemotional and shallow people Jack as I know that you are not from the depth of your own writing.

[Keith]

We feel the pain of love lost here.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Keith.

[poetdoug]

You are writing directly from the heartbeat of the heart. You have the true heart of a poet John my friend.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You are very kind Doug. Thank you!

[Leslie Philibert]

[Cassie]

awwwww...the ending of it I loved, the purest chemist, the whole poem is sad as well and you brought that clearly well. Good one
