You are both unpleasantly confined
To bear each others miserable minds
Bound forever by your rings
Based off out lived summer flings
One bares his ire upon the other
Breaking the faith of you, my mother
Impotent you are, left destitute
You've learned to sacrifice dignity for mute
But he gains no complacency
Instead he grows further empty
Forcing away the only being
Who once gave life so much meaning
You both are trapped in desperation
So close yet far from seperation.
To bear each others miserable minds
Bound forever by your rings
Based off out lived summer flings
One bares his ire upon the other
Breaking the faith of you, my mother
Impotent you are, left destitute
You've learned to sacrifice dignity for mute
But he gains no complacency
Instead he grows further empty
Forcing away the only being
Who once gave life so much meaning
You both are trapped in desperation
So close yet far from seperation.
I wanted to capture the idea of unhappily married couples with this. In recent years it seems so many newly weds fall out of love just as soon as they fell in it. This poem focuses more on the couples that don't split up, damaging each other the long they're together, yet too afraid to leave.
