The Rock
You are the rock in our relationship.
You are the foreboding boulder
that blocks the path to our happiness.
Your unyielding stance on compromise
-condemns us.
Your unwillingness to make the slightest change
-seals our fate.

Day 10, Poem 10:
Today's poetry prompt was to write an un-love poem or simply a "dislike" poem. Hhhhmmm...
Every relationship has it's ups and downs. And, like I have told my sweetie many times (and sometimes in two different languages), "It is a good thing I love you; because right now I really don't like you." I don't know of any relationship that doesn't occasionally hit a stumbling block - or rock in this case. The one thing I have learned from my parents' fifty years together - to make it work, you stick it out, especially during the difficult, "I don't like you right now," periods.
I pulled this scribbled poem out from an old notebook. It was obviously written at a bad moment in time. I made a few tiny revisions and edited out quite a bit. Short and not so sweet, here is my un-love poem!
_________________________________________________________
Lover of my Soul: Thank you for loving me, even when I am unlovable to others (and sometimes even to myself). Love isn't always easy. TRUE love always finds a way to make it work, because the end results are worth it. ~ Amen
