The Relationship Quandary

Tuesday, January 26, 2021 | 1 minute read

Some call it a wild ride together
a rollercoaster of emotions, desire in cold weather
offering nothing more than a companionship to savor
Yet freely embrace this instability of a relationship tether

Some call it a wave of emotions in aether
unpredictably shifting going up and nether
rocking the boat, throwing arctic cold water
sweeping into turbulence in raw weather
Yet unapologetically embrace this instability of a relationship tether

Others call it an exercise in solving integral problems
solving one will pry open the door to another
Hardship, misunderstanding, irritation clover
Everything will visit and engage the frustration lever
Leaving you pining for an utopian world forever
Yet willingly embrace this instability of a relationship tether

Many call it a magical journey through wilder
sometimes you feel close to the person, sometimes talking blether
making you uncomfortable, vulnerable but not clever
Trying to reach lofty fairy tales expectations favor
In time romance ages and euphoria settles into a crater
struggling to accept the fluctuation and failure feather
Yet smilingly embrace this instability of a relationship tether

No relationship is all sunshine rather
Bracing the storm together
Holding onto one umbrella and be braver
is the secret answer
embracing this instability of a relationship tether
