Care to read a sad (but common) tale? Any thoughts?
Complacence
I no longer excite you
in the bedroom or the mind
and lo, this roof we raised
with our own four hands
and these supporting walls
so lovingly painted to reflect our eyes
have paled,
and yet we continue to walk towards the horizon
hands clasped tightly
as sun falls, unstoppable
Is this love
your eyes ask the silent sky
We grip hands tighter
to keep from falling
in sideways freefall
never noticing
how like chains
our interlocking fingers are beginning to look.
no worries, this is a fiction
lo works, more violence to it which is needed.
consider the and dropped, you are correct on that one.

I really love the last stanza, especially;
"never noticing
how like chains
our interlocking fingers are beginning to look."
Aren't chains sometimes necessary? At least they're secure...

it really is a sad tale if you do no longer make it, yet an quite satisfied tale if you locate acquaintances like you and techniques to administration. most of the most suitable artwork is on the marketplace interior the decision of life's pains. exhilaration is continuously a chance, if no longer a truth.

Sounds horrible (not the poem, the thought). Hence the reason I'm never ever ever getting married.
I like that gripping to keep from falling and how those hands are actually like chains.

The chains that kept our hands together
I did not know, how or whether
I would survive if I let go
I clasped on tight, I did not know
Then finally the words that you did speak
Made my heart sink, my knees got weak
You wanted your freedom,you no longer cared
Cared nothing about this life we shared.
I opened up the door to your confined cage
And started over, a brand new page.
I found the girl that I was suppose to be
Look out world, it's a brand new me!

Love's victory is in spite of us.
Nice pen, fiction for some, non-fiction for others.

Marriage has many facets, including complacency. Well said. Liked your last line. 'lo' or 'though' on line 2? Do you need 'and' on line 8?

It's always sad when we outgrow our partners or they outgrow us or become bored. You worded the sentiment very eloquently. Liked it alot.
