Conflict

She reached out to him in tears

Night by night cried on his shoulder

As she revealed to him her fears

He said he’d always be there to hold her

 

He held her hand through the darkest night

As he gently pulled her through

He carried her into the light

And then the space between them grew

 

As she grew brighter every day

He just slowly pulled away

Unloving word tossed each direction

And neither one would take correction

 

She didn’t like the things he said

The voice that gave her life was dead

He didn’t like how she stayed away

As their bond began to fray

 

Although they want their wounds to heal

Neither understands the other

And as their love becomes less real

The flame they had begins to smother

 

He says she’s just not good enough

He thought she said she’d never change

She didn’t think it’d be this rough

That an easy life could be arranged

 

So they sit there back to back

As the distance between them grows

Their love slowly falls down the cracks

As they wallow in their woes

Not my best. No where near it. Just thoughts.

You should stop saying 'Not my best' in every of your writing, because it is one of the many ways for discouraging readers to read your work. Your writing is wonderful and truthful, especially in the emotional side. Keep on writing your heart out.

I know this all to well , this was very deep and made me cry cause i been in this situation before but in time its gotten better my husband and i Have been through alot we been married for 10yrs. went through this when i backslide and fell away from god and lost myself and didnt know who i was and my spirit was so gone was worst then having a broken heart i didnt know who i was when i looked into the mirro so as this happened we both drifted away from each other almost divorced but we didnt many prayerd for me i am just very blessed with caring friends and family that never gave up on me, i did find my way back and its a sacry felling when we go though those things and ones pull away from each other this poem was very sad and touching as it made me cry but it's ok. Thank you for sharing

I think this is very good. Very sad, the way a lot of relationships go when the two people can't communicate anymore.

I think it is among your best...it definitely accurately protrays the way people grow apart especially as on starts to find their own voice and successes. The frustrationg part is that when we are in this position, our field of vision is so narrowed to the differences that we forget the big picture...and what might actually still be there which is in reality much bigger than the stuff we are focusing on. Nice write girl.
