'separation' - the Art of Edvard Munch

When love is torn asunder and there is nothing left but dissent, a lover's heart will be shattered, mortally wounded and rent. In a relationship that was once held as sacred and eternal, sorrow takes a heavy toll on the one left behind, and infernal flames of grief scorch the lonely heart so that it must dwell, suffering in what seems like the fiery abyss of emotional hell. Forlorn the man when his once-upon-a-time love went astray, and became a wraith without a face. She refused to stay. Dressed in bridal gown, perhaps she seeks a new marriage mate, a man who will please her instead of treating her like a roommate. She looks forward to a brighter future than one she's left behind, wondering why she married him. How could she have been so blind? Could it be there's another side to the separation of two lovers? In death she was buried in a white shroud. Sorrowfully, he hovers. A bouquet of crimson flowers he's brought to leave at her grave but he cannot bear to look at the tomb. Today, he's not that brave. Ghostlike she appears to him, a wispy figure, floating in the mist. He's haunted by memories of the lips he'd passionately kissed.
