Aging In Love

once upon a time you saw a beautiful princess you were longing to be mine and your love you did confess we walked down the aisle dreaming of happy ever after each with an expectant smile of less tears and more laughter but now I'm thirty-four a lovely maiden no longer and you don't love me anymore though my love's grown stronger now when you look at me an ugly old hag is what you see and life is but a drag

Oh come on now...I'm not sure but the last time I looked, 34 wasn't listed in the old age category. I'm thinking this is just your imagination at work. Still your poem has feeling and meaning and expresses the loss of love in a marriage so very well Christy.

I know 34 isn't old. This isn't how I feel about myself it's about how my husband treats me. He just isn't interested in me anymore. He's addicted to alcohol, gaming, and pornography. I can't seem to compete with that.
