Out of the Groove

Over time, with circumstances
pushing us in different directions, 
our groove has been smoothed out
We no longer fall into each other
Instead with our balance regained
we stand independently 
Me, strong without your weight
pulling me down
You, floundering because you never tried

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  5. I too did not see the ending coming, and then it hit… Man, goes to show how burdening others can make us feel that when we finally let go, we feel our strength coming back. Sad how this can represent many relationships in life. Beautifully and poignantly written, Christine!

    1. Yes indeed Lucy. I’ve seen it and experienced it more than once. I always wonder how successful couples reach that happy medium (groove) and manage to stay there 😳
      Thanks so much for the lovely compliment ☺️❤️
