Poetry: More than just friends

MY WIFE: MY LOVER, MY SOUL MATE, MY BEST FRIEND


Once upon a time, we took walks in the park,

Collected sea shells on the beach,

Now, we're out of touch, out of reach.


Once upon a time, we cuddled in bed,

Created two beautiful kids,

Now I'm treated as if I were dead.


Once upon a time, we kissed as if there were no tomorrow,

Made a public display of our love for one another,

Now I peer into your eyes and see a look of sorrow.


Was it something I did, something I said,

Did I act insensitive toward you,

Was I horrible in bed?


Please help me to help you,

Because I want you back,

Can we renew our vows,

Go on a romantic trip?

Let's get back on track.
