Childish Behavior Keeps Our Love In Circles

To achieve the best results We need to act like adults Talking about things we did And not screaming little kids Shouting and throwing a tantrum That seems to be our love anthem Not hearing a word we say There has to be another way To discuss and solve these issues Our hearts are being so misused Every time we have a fight It comes down to we recite The same debate time and again It's far to long since we've been Listening with great intent It seems we are quite content This situations on a cycle Round and round for quite a while Never stopping always busy Making both of our heads dizzy Getting evil and more vicious This loves no longer delicious It turned bitter and absurd Something in both of us stirred Anger and hatred we see There's no more ability To talk and work out what happened Our love is totally flattened Stomped out by our stupid pride And the hurt way deep inside

I love childish behavior at times. No matter how old we get we will always have a little bit of childish behavior. A very well written poem Robin....Hugs....Roger

Oh, Lord am I guilty of such things! When I'm in a fight with someone, I get downright vicious, and I hate that character flaw in myself. It's something I'll always need to work on. Great poem, Sweet Pea :)

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, love just doesn't work out the way we want it to. And even though it hurts, the best thing to do is separate. Then, maybe we can find the one that we are meant to be with! I hope that you can find happiness in love, someday! You are so good at expressing your emotions in your poetry! Great work, once again!
