In one bed three wept
while at their door he slept,

Two youths and mother
all clutching covers,

For letters they'd found
on eve's gray ground,

That told the story
of ruined glory --

Their husband, father
loved another.

What else do you say

Who denied love because love was there for him to forgo love

This hurts.

A sad reality rendered powerfully.

Simple, yet straight to the heart as an arrow -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

this is sad, but I believe people are capable of loving more than one person at a time - I know, I do....

I love brevity in poetry, it shows just how much can be said with so few words.
You have mastered this quite well.
Enjoyed your crafting very much.

Everyone has already said what I'd say, but I'll be redundant! Enjoyed the brevity and its strength!
