We never thought that love would look like this;
Side by side
Wading through the ****
Balancing bliss
against all the meaningless bits,
That take up all our time.
Life a constant try,
One heavy foot in front of the other,
Struggling for breath
As we're smothered
By the muchness of another day.
Another 'get up and do it all over again'.
We never thought that love would look like this;
Too tired to persist
Beyond the zombie-like list
Toward expectation.
Barely braced before the tide comes in
And we're swept, heavy-limbed
Into the next ******* thing.
Floundering, like caught fish
And on the cold, unfeeling deck
Of existing.
We never thought that love would look like this;
Side by side
Laughing through the ****
Finding bliss
In all the meaningless bits.
That take up all our time.
Life with you, sublime
Even in the trials.
When smothered,
I breathe in every
'Why i love you'
Every 'why I need you'
And every 'why id never be the same
Without you here'

Its been a struggle recently, I've been very ill with endometriosis and adenomyosis. My husband has been my rock. Our love has grown into to something neither of us expected, but I couldn't live without that man.
