Yes, reminds me of that movie classic, with Trevor Howard... mmm, can't remember, just remade too... Only, she didn't walk away. A truthful portrayal of love's tug-of-war with responsibility.

Poetess E...Consummate loyalty is a rare virtue for Todays relationships...There should be far more empty train stations of people that should be with the one they pledged to....Sterling Write, my dear, as always...as if i expected any less''''''''''''''''''FRANK
Another compulsive read from a great poet. The ending made the poem. I just loved the whole thing........ Love, Fran xx
Well before we jump to conclusions: Her 'husband to betray' Could it have been that he sent her To meet an old friend and she thought not. So much for romantics. s
' Looking Through The Window' - Is this what they mean about 'window pane'?
Oh boy, that ending got me hook and sinker! I am happily married, but a hopeless romantic as well. Can't help but want someone in the story to be happy somehow! Cheers, Lori
Dearest, this is such a true picture of loving two men at the same time..on the one hand the husband you have loved for a lifetime, and on the other, your first love returning...Wow, what a choice to face. I, for one, am glad she made the right one, even though her sadness shows.
Lovely, but it will never be made into a movie. Hollywierd would not stand for this ending. Adultery is required.
Fine poem that paints such a sad and poignant picture with great economy of words.
Pain! ..... So with tears descending down her face, she slowly walked away. This is emotional to the core. The way you have used the backdropp of the train station is simply beautiful. An excellent write this is.
Very like a heartbreaking scene from an old black and white film. A very beautiful and moving piece. Love, Andrew xx
