I can exist
In and of myself
Alone
And enjoy life.
But within a relationship
There is expectation
And desire
For more
Than just alone
More
Than just together.
Insecurities
Overshadow love
And unwillingness
To face up to the darkness
Leaves potholes
Around which we skirt
And into which
Our love drains.
Enacting advice
Does not yield
The forecast results
And leaves a question
Does WE exist anymore?
Frustration breeds
Drains personal energy
Highlights negatives
And weakens bonds
So that stresses
Push apart what was together.
Looking back
With rose-coloured glasses
Only persists present pain;
What really matters
Is right now
There is only this moment
To assess within.
Can’t live without sunshine, music, & love. My personal driving force is curiosity.
Of Love and Loss
