About the Book
Love is considered by many people to be the best thing this world has to offer, but losing love—whether it happens through death, separation, or divorce—may be the worst. LOSING LOVE is about one man’s loss and the roller coaster ride of emotions he experiences on his journey to recovery. This collection of poetry begins with his effort to deny the inevitable, progresses to the devastating realization that his relationship is over, and then describes his emotional struggle to recreate his life without his former lover. Simple, yet emotionally stirring, these poems bring the experience of love lost to life.

I’m glad you left
I’m tired of
all the bickering
and I'm tired of
the clamorous crunch
of eggshells
when we’re not bickering
I’m glad you left
So why haven’t you called?
