A plea

Its not easy

To recognise and accept

that the love we shared

is not there anymore

The respect, the adulation

the fascination and admiration

lies buried deep

under piles of complaints

unfulfilled wishes

egoistic manipulations

unhealthy irritations

Unreachable, unrecoverable

Expectations - What you are

What you are not

What I wish you could be

What I wish we could be

- Dissatisfaction brews

simmering in the dark throes

of our souls

The connection and bond

lies severed

bleeding incessantly

revealing a gash so extreme

that the finest soothing words

fail to be medicative

Should we not end this charade?

This farcical 'happiness' ?

Who are we fooling?

Ourselves or those around us???

Take that step towards liberty my dear

For I lack the will to

do what is good for both of us..........
