Andy DW Poet Rhyme

Two Lives

There is supposed to be a partnership
Not just friendly companionship
Two people become one entity 
Not physically but mentally
A relationship or marriage isn’t ever fifty fifty 
No need for a meeting or committee 
One maybe extra tired
And the other does as required
The next day roles may reverse
But you work together and diverse 
One may be injured or have the flu 
The next week the foot maybe on the other shoe
This swings in roundabouts 
Never any resentment or doubts
One is the doer and one is the taker 
If your the taker don’t be the breaker
You shouldn’t feel guilt for being unwell
Don’t be the one to scream and yell
If this is a long sickness 
Remember it’s both your business 
One maybe giving up their sanity
To prevent a calamity 
Communication is the key to success
Instead you dampen any progress
Now is not the time to feel independent 
And treat everyone else like they’re unpleasant 
Your own words can prevent frustration 
Instead of worsening the situation
Talking to prevent resentment 
Instead filling with disappointment 
It’s living two separate life’s 
For now it has to suffice
