Sterile Love


Unhappily trapped
In a crumbling relationship...
The love that kept them intact
Through highs and lows
Eroded by doubts.

Erosion is hardly ever mendable. Great write about a very sad reality for many.

How sad for a loving relationship can only come about through trust. Often, when doubt is deep rooted, a relationship fades into never-never land. Well penned my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

What a poignant and touching bite! This i think would resonate with many! A crumbling relationship, what floats beneath seems to always be doubts when so much is lost in translation! Pleasure reading this heartfelt poem! Sending you light always! Best wishes always

Paul, your short poem delivers a punch of reality through strong images about the way doubt slowly erodes the mortar binding a relationship together. Sad! Plaintive! So melancholy! Well done! Sending you blessings!
