Meet Me In the Middle

Meet me in the middle. Is this how love dies?
You’re changing. Why can’t you compromise?
Things used to be so easy.
What happened, sweetie?
You could find
me
on your mind
if you’d let things be
how they were naturally!
Let love shine again from your blue eyes.
Meet me in the middle. Is this how love dies?

Sweet poets, is this a way to treat my envy? It blew up right in the middle! Oh, this form! I never would have thought of it. I think I'll go and have a bit of a cry.

Well Done Andrea. All to often two people will refuse to meet in the middle and to agree to disagree or accept the other's view. It's hurtful and yes, that's the way love dies. When respect dies so does love. Good job. God Bless, JB

compromise is key to a couple being contented Andrea, think your poem has hit the nail on the head as to how relationships fail:-( hugs Jan xx

Who can do better in this form than the one who invented it. Great message in your poem, Andrea. A win for you for sure.

I am sure others can come up with something better than this, Vijay, and I am eager to see Emile's picks. I hope just to make it even at the bottom of the list!

Really interesting form; not seen this one before and now I know why... Emile's contest page says it was invented by you. Impressive! Most impressive! Good luck. Regards, John.
