@PabloNe00253139 Yes indeed, you are correct. There is no one else in this universe that can love me as he did. What am I supposed to do now, my heart and I, without love? Without his presence? Without feeling touched by the man I desire?

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

I was once loved as well as cared for, and now I appear to have no use in the world.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

Yet, at the moment my heart is crushed into a million pieces. I placed my life in the hands of a man, and now I have nothing of my own. At last, I sense my soul being detached from me.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

“Though now none takes me on his arm, to fold me close and kiss me warm.”

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

Dear love, ever since you have left me, I am shattered. How is it that I am breathing, yet feel dead inside? How I desire I was the one to be in your gravestone.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

How I wish I could go back in time to be with the love of my life Ralph, the one that made me feel worthy as we watch the sunset

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

It was not thus in that old time when Ralph sat with me ‘neath the lime to watch the sunset from the sky.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

You see we’re tired my heart and I. We dealt with books, we trusted men, and in our own blood drenched the pen, as if such colours could not fly.

[Elizabeth Barrett Browning @BethBrowning_]

Hear me when I say I am drained of life, there is no use of me in this world my heart and I.
