When Love Dies

Rating: ★4.9
~ When Love Dies


Love died and yet
The bittersweet lived on
And little knew that pride was left
Now that the love was gone.

And so it grew and filled the house
With barbs and thorns and tares,
Till peace and hope and faith and trust
Withdrew their gentle wares.

The bittersweet lived on and love died giving a thought provoking thrill. But still love grows with love, trust and peace. This is very well realized by many people. This is an excellent poem very well penned...10

i have an idea of what bittersweet means (especially after reading online definitions) , but i wish Adeline would tell me what she is referring to exactly. what are the sweet AND the bitter thoughts, feelings, objects, experiences or whatever that were left after the love was gone for the speaker. and if there truly was something sweet after love was gone, why did it seem that the bitter prevailed? any takers on the above question? personally i don't care much for love poems. i also see that one commenter doesn't like when other poets ask him to read poems and give reviews. at the risk of bothering him or anybody else (i don't mind the risk; what could he do to hurt me anyway? ? ?) i am now leaving the titles of four poems i have on poemhunter which deal with love. I Don't Care Much For Love Poems Soft Are You Really Better Without Me? Don't lose Heart After Losing A Love i've had four wives and at least two girlfriends whom i loved.....at least for a while. 3 divorces later i may know something about love and losing it.....maybe. my 5th anniversary with fourth wife is fast approaching.

Yes this is so true and some can't understand that when love dies it goes away never to return again.Only sorrow and regret remain.Very good poem and so true.

A very true poem, pride is very destructive when it comes to love. Great work, I believe everyone can relate to your poem. Love it...........

The poem said it all in two quatrains. I agree with Heather above though. 'love never dies'
