Jennifer Phillips Poet Verse

'till Death Us Do Part

It's easy to kill
a relationship.
-don't talk!

It's easy to kill a relationship.
-Don't walk 
together.

Scan the grass on  the other side.
It's always greener
-from a distance!
Choose separate paths.
Travel alone
or build a home
away from home.

Don't give!
Stand on your right!
Fight!
Paint a black picture.
Spoil
a reputation. 
Tear your own house down.

It's easy to kill a relationship
and sometimes.....
it's just as easy
to build it!

Theresa Stephens July 22, 2014 at 5:20 AM Hi Jennifer, You have succinctly described in just a few relevant verses the destructive elements of a dysfunctional relationship. I am sure most of us can emphasise with the emotions that you have wrought in this powerful write. Well done.Theresa xx
