In my opinion Victor,
Being creative is so important, and what better way than to write what you feel down so you can look at it...
As you did not speak of a structure to your words I am guessing it is freestyle.
Thank you for the read,
Lisasview

Familiarity may not breed contempt, but it can create the blahs and the hard corners of expectations that too often aren't met. Long relationships have challenges, but the narrator in this poem finds the love that's present sufficient, however imperfect. His lines hint at the discords of familiarity, but also present pathways for connection and solution. Breaking up is hard to do, to quote Neil Sedaka.

There seems to be a lot of regret here for the fluency, elasticity of the 'you' that used to be. Now a divide through age and pride but still a man in love and trying. I enjoyed the free flow of your reflective and poignant verse and particularly liked the 4th stanza which I found very moving. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

What comes through this poem: relationships aren't easy and require compromise and get messy. But you persist. Interesting format on this. I enjoyed it! Julie.

I've travelled the world, and guess what? People don't differ, they still dream, strive, hope, try to be the best they can be, dreams, schemes and aspirations, that marks folk, wherever, whoever and whatever they spare, beautifully written, blessings Roy
