Lost

Reminds me of Heathcliffe after Cathy's death in "Wuthering Heights".

Was that a movie/t.v. show/soap opera?  :-)

Wuthering Heights was a 19th century tragic-romantic novel by one of the Bronte sisters, set in north of England (Yorkshire) it has been made into a movie more than once (perhaps most famously during WWII when Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh were the pair), and much more recently a West End (equivalent your Broadway) musical called "Heathcliffe".  The most recent film version I recall was made in 1990s with the part of Cathy played by Juliette Binoche.

The two major difference between the situations is that Cathy married someone else and she was not as free as the woman mentioned in your poem, and that Heathcliffe, unlike the man in the pic here, grew shaggy hair wise.

Super dark, I like it! I like the rhyming pattern too, nice word choices :)

Thank you M...;)

I shed a tear for the lost soul...wonderful write.

Wonderfully melancholy! would'a, should'a, could'a right? There's a beautiful JT song called "Walk Down That Lonesome Road" that reflects this same message.

Thank you Lerd...I'll have to give it a listen ;)
