Longing to be free again.

Being trapped within this marriage,

leaves me nervous and stressed out.

I cry myself to sleep each night,

hurt by the angry words you spout.

 

I despise your rotten attitude,

you stay mad both day and night.

Every minute that you’re at home,

all we ever do is argue and fight.

 

Let’s just go our separate ways,

I cannot live with you anymore.

Too much has changed between us,

nothing will be the same as before.

    Even if the couple are imaginary, I feel sorry for them.

    fiction for you and I’m so glad of that, But all to real to so many, when the lust is gone and they relize there is no love, all that’s left is hate and anger. yes it’s time to walk away and with luck no children to get hurt because of it all. yet most likely there is always children who suffer most :(

    Excellent write and topic Darla! I think virtually every relationship goes through these so called bad times,you just have to work through them unless of course you do hate each other and then there really is not point in taking it any further.

    Well done Darla pretty much sums up a bad marriage.

    Well written. Not sure if this is fiction, or you capturing in words an angry moment.
