Sidney Hall Mad Poet Poet Rhyme

Marriage Gone Wrong

I’m suffocating… convulsing… 
The walls are closing in
I’m feel trapped… profusely sweating…
My heart is racing within

Life cheated me, 
It preyed on me like a trap door spider
Enticing, inviting
As love’s door opens wider

Then it happened
It bit me; I am paralysed as it sucks me dry
In a relationship from hell
And I don’t know why

I feel claustrophobic… buried alive…
I cannot bear anymore
We stay together as convenience unites
Us in a loveless painful chore

Anxiety impatiently searches my mind for a way out
I’m stifled… hurting…and sad
The reality and clarity 
Amplifies it… and that’ bad

I am at the mercy of hopelessness
Now long is a soul suppose to endure such bruising
Of hatred and fighting
And belittling emotional abusing

Sylvia Coulstock November 6, 2010 at 9:53 AM Sidney, please check your soup mail. Love June(Sylvia)

Sylvia Coulstock November 6, 2010 at 8:18 AM Oh Sidney I love the way you have written this, but so sad.To live without love is to not live at all, but just exist.Unfortunately so many couples do it,they say for the sake of the children.But in the end all suffer.A far cry from your usual write.But I knew that as well as being a comedic poet you could also write good serious work.And I was not wrong.I hope this is not expressive of your own pain.But they do say behind every clown there's a sad-faced Pierrot.Hope not you. Love June(S)

John Loving Iii November 4, 2010 at 5:28 PM some poeple just give bad advice without asking at all can your marriage be saved if certian changes were made? make those changes known. and if they arn't responded to pack up and get out for one week. then return and see if changes occure. if not go and forget about her forever. for some this is harder than it sounds but for you it will be easy if the words of this piece is true. but first remember you vows to God. john

Sara Kendrick November 4, 2010 at 5:23 PM I hope that this is just a topic and not your life..If your life, think back and find one thing about your wife who was once your love and compliment her..Tell her that you love her. Your love is still there under all that emotion somewhere..Fame the embers and the fire will burn..Sara
