From Fireworks To Fizzle

From fireworks to fizzle,
so went our love,
now it's good morning, goodnight,
without a hug.

Existing in harmony,
one day at a time,
you have your space,
and I have mine.

The house is full,
of nothing at all,
but no one notices,
all the bare walls.

Another day ends,
and to dreamland we go,
to awaken the fireworks,
that each misses so.

Time for a counselor dear? "Hello Beautiful and Precious Christy Hardy!!!"~I hope that life has been treating "You" well dear lady!!? And better than this write might suggest? Yet, I find it extremely hard to believe; after knowing "Your Beauty" as long as I have~that 'anyone' would ever miss "This Wonderful Treasure" which they have in their lives!!!?~" My Love Always To You Christy, And All Your Loves, Forever, John!!!":)

Yes this is all to familier, but nothing is waisted on a good man, expecially when he knows you love him, that is the most brilliant firework of all. Climb a rooftop, and yell til he hears you. Thanks for your commentary on my poem.-AA

Aww, somewhat sad, but a bit hopeful towards the end (I think). Relationships are complicated and after being together a long time, problems arise and the distance between two can often grow. Hope all is well. Life is mighty strange. Love & hugs, Shar xoxo

Oh Christy such agony. Cool thing about long term relationships is that you fall in and out of love so maybe harmony isn't all that bad. Sweetly sad write
