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.

You are right, Nette....without trust the mind will not be assured of what we already have. Thank you for the visit, my friend, and happy weekend // paul

Well expressed…what should be true upholds the thought, but for the bitterness of trapped, crumbling, doubting…a sad place to be.

Indeed, it is a sad situation that we live in, especially the lack of motivation and many falling at the first hurdle/s. Regards // paul
