Fear and Loathing

Another short poem. Feedback would be appreciated! Thank you for reading!

Obsession, her love is not real

Depression, that's all the couple feels

Insecurity, the wife is afraid

Fear, their love begins to fade

Love, there is no longer a presence

Anxiety, present in all form of its essence

Loathing, the outcome of their love

Fantasy, it has risen above

Regret, that's all that appears

Nervousness, pain and the fear

Hesitation, they are not sure if they belong

Realization, they never loved each other all along

hmmmmmm , in this case from the poem i don't think its that , but the couple reaching a point where everything became mundane , i often see couples reaching this point and becoming filled with hate for each other . whats important is to remember the good things and try to fix it , we give up too easily in this generation . love is not like a light you should'nt be able to swtich it on and off

I felt that this piece worked well to describe a very real situation that occurs in many relationship. It's a cross gender event, no gender dominating the depressive/opressive end. I've been through exactly what this piece describes and it does in my opinion come down to the realization that niether bonded in the way true love should be and they had never truly knew what love was, thus it failed.
while I will agree with Peter H below that trying to fix things is something couples should do...try being the main word. I think it's also important to realize that somethings just weren't meant to be fixed and it's best to move on before either side gets wounded more than they already have become.

Thanks for sharing your Ink!

Thanks! I love hearing people's input and perspectives. I agree with you and Peter and have to say that nowadays, people tend to give up too easily on relationships. However, there are others who put too much effort only to realize that such a relationship cannot exist.
