Anyone know which one it was, and why it was?

That would be my mistake.

Two. The short story "Ligeia" and the poem "Annabel Lee." If you read those two highly romantic and moving works, each about a love lost to death, you will see why.

It is hard to state that only one of his pieces of work were closest to his soul. I recently did a paper on Poe for my college lit class on his work "The Fall of The House of Usher". A lot of people say that the story itself is supposed to be representing how he felt about his life in general. There are a lot of good sites you can check out about him and his works. Just do a general search on either google or yahoo. And actually you may want to try including your question here in the search line :) Good luck!

I dont know but ironic to read your question this am as I thought of EAP this morning.
I read a quote in a book I am starting , it reads:
"My heart holds all secrets; my heart tells no lies."
Could not help think of EAP here. The Tell-Tale Heart
It is true. The heart has all the secrets and all the truth.
[ its the mind that lies, via the mouth]

I have always thought that it was "Anabel Lee". There is speculation as to whether he made it up or it was written about his wife or a lover. It is a beautiful lament. I could be wrong. With Poe who knows!?

Excellent question.
The answer might be, not any particular one. Poe was such an alcoholic, I imagine that there was something terrible he was wrestling with, maybe just his addiction, which he wrestled to his own death bed.
Keep pursuing your query. I'll put this on my watch list.

Probably not "The Raven". Although this was a really good poem it is my understanding that it was a fictional experiment in technical perfection and also in the use of classic themes of love and death.

Annabelle Lee? I mean he talks of laying with his love in her grave by the sea every night because he can't let go of her...
.. the same issue of his "lost Lenore" comes up in "the Raven" both deal with his grief of losing the love of his life.
