It is usually nurtured with love,
Patience and understanding
Fortified with prayers
To break the shadow of fear
That it's end might
One day come.....

But, sometimes,
One becomes complacent.
Faith starts to waver...
It gets lost along the way.
Focus is disrupted....
Indifference sets in,
Spaces grow in between
In no time at all.

Sometimes,
The other's  burning desire
Does not suffice...
The effort is inadequate.

Sometimes,
One has to face the inevitable.
Sometimes,
One has to accept
The death of a marriage.....
