LONELY
Even when you're there
We sit together but exist in our own little worlds,
When did our paths divide?
When did we stop travelling side by side?
SOLITARY
No more talk,no shared laughter
Now we move in parallel lines,
No intimacy, no shared plans
As our paths no longer intertwine,
SECLUDED
We meet in the same company
But we have no shared topics
Alone, even in a crowded room
No longer viewed as in each other's pockets,
FORLORN
When did it begin, this loneliness?
The end of the road we travelled together,
When did you move to another path?
Leaving me with only memories to treasure?
DESOLATE
Time for me to accept it's over
Time to live our separate lives
Was it ever love or just a response to loneliness?
And an opportunity to banish it from our sides?
ESTRANGED
Over half my life has been shared with you
It's taken a long, hard journey to realise
It was loneliness masquerading as love
And life is too short to continue living lies.

Ohhhhhhh SUE ~ I wasn't expecting this from one so vibrant and positive in your outlook and Poetry to date ! I'm not married (yet) so i have to experience the ECSTASY (and the AGONY) which I am sure will come ! The negativity of the STATES you describe ~ LONELY ~ SOLITARY ~ SECLUDED ~ FORLORN ~ DESOLATE ~ ESTRANGED do exist in community ~ families ~ friendship & courtship etc BUT ~ They must cut much deeper in a relationship (marriage) which you thought would stay warm forever ~ so so sad. Thanks for CARING & SHARING ~ Thinking of you and praying for you ~ Hugs ~ Your Friend BRIAN
Thank you - it has a happy ending on a personal note - I have been married 38 years as of next week!!!😂 Get less for murder😂😂😂😂
Take care!
My poem was in response to a friend going through this- not myself.

I feel for you it is sad. You are a strong woman and things will get better.
It is an excellent read and I feel the pain
